Tofu Scramble
A tasty and protein-packed tofu scramble made with expired but safe tofu to minimize food waste.
Ingredients
- 1 package of expired unopened refrigerated tofu
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for sautéing
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Crumble it into small pieces.
Heat some cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add crumbled tofu to the skillet and stir well to combine with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix together nutritional yeast, turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the tofu and vegetables. Stir well to evenly coat everything.
Continue cooking for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
Serve hot with toast or as a filling for breakfast burritos.
Enjoy!
