The Best Tofu Scramble

drbecca26's Note:

Another favorite from La Dolce Vegan...I like to make extra...it keeps well in the fridge all week...then I use it again and again for different things when I am feeling lazy. I like to take left-overs of this and put it in with sliced pan-fried potatoes, just when the potatoes are almost done cooking...yum! Makes great egg sandwiches, too! I like to slice cherry tomatoes in half instead of using big tomatoes, as the little ones are more dependable flavor-wise all year long. I like to add the tomatoes a few minutes before cooking is done, just so they get a bit cooked and shriveled...just my preference. Oh, and drain, drain, drain that tofu before you use it, as always!!!

1. In a large saucepan on medium-high heat, saute the onions in oil until translucent.

i've made this a couple times and it's really yummy. you can play around with the spices and omit the yeast flakes if you're like me and forget to add them--it still turns out great.

Super delicious. I just added some avocado and cilantro at the end. Delicious. Thanks!

This was a hit in our house. I am making a switch to eating more vegan meals to cut down animal protiens in our diets and some things have been hit or miss. I had a hankering for breakfast for dinner and this was it. I added some diced zucchini and mushrooms to the onions at the beginning, but only because I wanted more veggies for the kids and mixing them in ensures they get eaten. This honestly rocked. It was so delicious, my hubby has asked that we have this at least one meal a week. Thanks so much for sharing your fave recipe. It really is good and I think I will make double next time so we can use it for wraps and stuff through out the week. SOOOOO GOOOOOOD!
