ULTRA-SATISFYING VEGGIE TOFU SCRAMBLE
When it comes to choosing tofu for this scramble, you have a couple options. We love extra firm silken tofu, but regular firm or extra firm tofu will work. Check in the notes section below the recipe for our tips. We keep the seasonings simple for this recipe, but if you want to turn this into a Southwestern-style scramble, add 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder and a 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin to the spice mixture. You can also add some heat with hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally until they smell sweet and soften, about 3 minutes. Tumble in the tofu then use the back of a spoon to break it apart in the pan, making it look like scrambled eggs.
- Add salt, turmeric, garlic powder, and the mushroom powder to a small bowl then add a splash of water. Stir to make a slurry then stir into the tofu. Cook until any excess water released from the tofu evaporates, about 2 minutes.
- Slide the pan off of the heat then stir in spinach and the chopped tomatoes until the spinach is mostly wilted. Taste then season with more salt if needed as well as a few grinds of fresh black pepper. Scatter chopped fresh herbs on top then serve as-is or spoon on to an English muffin, toast or tortillas. Adding a few slices of avocado is a nice touch, too.

TOFU SCRAMBLE
This quick scramble is a combination of flavors and textures that will surprise and delight tofu-lovers and doubters alike. Soy sauce, turmeric and cumin provide bold seasoning, while searing the block of tofu on both sides before breaking it up yields plenty of crispy bits as well as tender ones. You can add cooked vegetables, leafy greens, beans, cheese or nutritional yeast with the scallions in Step 4, though you may want to increase the seasoning depending on the amount of extras you add. You can also swap in hot sauce, mustard or tahini for the soy sauce and play around with spice combinations, but don't skip the splash of water - it helps the tofu soak up all the flavors. Serve with toast, tortillas, salad or breakfast potatoes.

Steps:
- Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally as you would a hamburger bun. Pat both pieces dry and wrap in paper towels. If time allows, press the tofu by placing a cast-iron skillet or other heavy object on top of the wrapped tofu for about 30 minutes. (This helps remove moisture so the tofu retains its shape better during cooking.)
- In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the soy sauce, turmeric and cumin with 2 tablespoons water.
- Unwrap the tofu and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the tofu blocks and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook until golden brown and crisp on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes. If the tofu is emitting water, hold the tofu with a spatula and pour the water out of the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break up the tofu into chunks. Add the scallions and the seasoning mixture and cook, stirring and continuing to break up the tofu, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
SCRAMBLED TOFU WITH TOMATOES, SCALLIONS AND SOY SAUCE
Eggs are nicely mimicked when you scramble firm tofu with vegetables or grains. The point is not to fool anyone into thinking he is eating eggs, but to create a scramble that is easy and satisfying.

Steps:
- Put the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until their juices release and they begin to dry out slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Crumble the tofu with your fingers and add it to the pan along with the scallions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and dried out a bit, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve, drizzling with soy sauce at the table. Note: To make Scrambled Tofu With Corn, Tomatoes and Basil, use olive oil instead of neutral oil and reduce the amount of tomatoes to 1 cup. Substitute 3/4-cup corn kernels for the scallions and stir in some chopped fresh basil before serving. Skip the soy sauce and drizzle with a little more olive oil at the table if you like.
SCRAMBLED TOFU
This is a wonderful vegetarian dish with a great flavor. The cheese can be omitted, and other vegetables such as green peppers or mushrooms can be added. It's great served with hot bran muffins.
