Ingredients
Tofu Scramble
- 16 oz. medium firm tofu, drained
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Veggies
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 4 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
Optional Toppings
- Sliced avocado
- Hot sauce
- Shredded cheese
Instructions
Tofu Scramble
-
Drain the liquid from the tofu package and squeeze between two paper towels to remove excess liquid, set aside. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Crumble the tofu over the pan. The tofu will continue to crumble as you stir, so don't worry if there are a few larger chunks.
-
Add the turmeric, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to the tofu and stir to combine. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until any extreme excess liquid has evaporated. The tofu will begin to turn even more yellow as it cooks from the turmeric. There will still be some liquid, but there should not be much once it is finished. At this point, add the nutritional yeast and stir to combine. Cook for one more minute, remove from heat, and top with the sliced green onions.
Veggies
-
While the tofu scramble is cooking, heat the 1 Tablespoon of oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the onion and mushrooms and cook for about 10 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Add the fresh rosemary and the salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Add the roughly chopped baby spinach and continue to cook until the spinach is wilted and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
Bowl Assembly
-
Divide the tofu evenly between two to three bowls or meal prep containers, and then evenly distribute the veggies between the same two to three bowls or meal prep containers. Add preferred toppings (avocado, hot sauce, etc.) and enjoy (or save for later if you are meal prepping!)!
