Southwestern Tofu Scramble

Southwestern Tofu Scramble

Serves 6

30 minutes or fewer

Ground turmeric gives this egg-free scramble a golden hue. Leftovers (if any) make a great sandwich filling.
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 small carrot, diced (about ½ cup)
  • 4 green onions, chopped (about ½ cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 tsp.)
  • ½ tsp. ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp. ground turmeric
  • 1 14-oz. pkg. medium tofu, drained and crumbled
  • ½ tsp. hot sauce
  • 2 Tbs. chopped cilantro
  • salsa, for garnish

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Add bell pepper and carrot, and cook 7 minutes, or until just tender. Stir in green onions, garlic, cumin and turmeric, and cook 1 minute more. Add tofu and hot sauce, and cook 5 minutes, or until heated through and all liquid has cooked off. Stir in cilantro, and serve with salsa.

What could be used instead of tofu? I won't eat soy

Love, love, love this dish. Extremely easy to make and was filling. I used chopped fresh tomatoes instead of salsa. Taste was wonderful! I liked how the tumeric colored the tofu - looked just like scrambled eggs. This dish will be a regular breakfast dish!

This was a pretty good dish and easy to make! We added more hot sauce and salt; it is a little bland without enough of those seasonings, but overall really good. We wrapped ours in a whole wheat tortilla for a "breakfast burrito".

I love tofu scrambles, and this one has great potential. I found that adding 1 tsp of sea salt, and sauteeing half an onion (in addition to the green onion) gave this much more flavor. With these additions, i give it 4/5 stars.
