Scrambled Tofu (WFPBNOGF)*


Prep Time

20 Mintues

Prep Notes

If you dry saute, which allows you to skip the oil, simply get your fry pan to medium high, put in the onions without the broth. As they sweat, they unstick from the pan. Once they are translucent, add the garlic and saute for another minute or two stirring adding the grated carrot. Then go to number two in the directions below. I like it this way because with no veggie broth, the tofu stays more firm in its crumbled form. It's prettier too, more appetizing. 

Cooking Time

Ingredients

2 tbsp vegetable broth

1/2 large onion, diced

1/2 large carrot, grated

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

1/2 tsp dill (optional)

8 chopped cherry tomatoes (optional)


or change it up with this combination:

Directions

  1. Gently sauté onion, carrot, and garlic in 2 tablespoons vegetable broth in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat until onion is translucent.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add curry powder, miso, and tofu.  If using, add dill. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

Notes

If you want the taste of eggs, order online (if not found at your grocery store) from TheSpiceLab.com INDIA BLACK KALA NAMAK No. 5 Mineral Salt from Pakistan. It's high in sulfur and just putting a dab on your finger will make you think: eggs. It's quite amazing if you've never tasted it, and definitely worth having in your spice cabinet for Eggless 'Egg' Salad as well.
