🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, prepare your tofu. Crumble it into a large bowl. Don't worry about making it perfectly even—a little rustic is fine. It's the flavour that counts, right?
- Next, whisk together nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. This is your flavor magic dust!
- Now, gently toss the crumbled tofu with the spice blend, ensuring every bit is coated. You want every single bite to be full of flavor!
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon or two of olive oil. Make sure your heat is just right: you should be able to comfortably hold your hand a few inches above the pan for a second or two.
- Once the oil is shimmering, add the tofu to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it's golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. This takes about 10-12 minutes. And remember, patience is key here!
- While the tofu is cooking, chop your fresh herbs—I love parsley, chives, and dill—into small pieces. Fresh is best, but dried herbs work in a pinch.
- Once the tofu is cooked to perfection, stir in your chopped fresh herbs. If you're feeling adventurous, add some chopped tomatoes or mushrooms here!
- Serve immediately! This is best enjoyed fresh and hot. And don't be afraid to get creative with toppings—everything tastes better with a little something extra.
📝 Notes
- Adjust the seasonings to your liking. If you like it spicier, feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes!
- For a creamier scramble, you can add a splash of plant-based milk at the end of cooking.
- Don't overcook the tofu or it will become dry and crumbly. Aim for a golden-brown color.
