The Best Tofu Scramble

Submitted by drbecca26

"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!!!"

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.

I took out the oil, and it brings the calories from fat way down. Just caramelize some onions (can add garlic and shallots too) in low-sodium vegetable broth and use as needed. This dish was great. 5 stars.

My first attempt at tofu scramble. Delicious!! Will definitely be a mainstay of my meal plan.

I just made this for Sunday breakfast and my husband and I loved it! I never know what to do with tofu but would like to incorporate more vegan meals into our routine. I'm going out to buy more tofu today so I can make another batch later this week. Great recipe and costs so much less than the pre-packaged mixes. I also want to mix it up with different veggies as others have done. Thank you for a great and versatile tofu recipe!

My favorite microwave meal is Amy's tofu scramble but it is pretty expensive. I bought tofu and looked for a recipe. I'm glad I found this one because it is SO GOOD!! I had some hash browns, saut?ed spinach and mushrooms with this and it was better than the microwave meal.
