Tofu Scramble
This holiday season, let's switch up the breakfast game with a savory alternative that's both delicious and nutritious. Turmeric Tofu Scramble – a flavorful twist on the classic scrambled eggs, perfect for a festive morning feast. Whether you're a plant-based eater or just looking to try something new, this recipe promises a burst of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
Ingredients:
1 block of firm tofu
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 medium zucchini, shredded
Salt to taste
For the Sauce:
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1/2 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or your choice)
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Tofu: Start by removing excess moisture from the tofu. Take one block of firm tofu, press out the liquid, and crumble it into a bowl. This forms the base of our savory scramble.
Create the Turmeric Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together turmeric powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, peanut butter, and plant-based milk. This unique combination will give your tofu scramble a rich and creamy texture with a delightful blend of spices.
Cooking the Tofu: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a touch of oil. Toss in the crumbled tofu and cook until it starts to turn golden brown. This step brings out the natural nuttiness of the tofu and adds a satisfying texture.
Adding Veggies: Enhance the nutritional profile by incorporating veggies of your choice. In this recipe, I added sliced mushrooms and shredded zucchini. Feel free to get creative – bell peppers, spinach, or tomatoes would make delightful additions.
Pouring the Turmeric Sauce: Once the tofu and veggies are warmed through, pour the prepared turmeric sauce over the mixture. The vibrant yellow hue will infuse the dish with a warm and inviting color, making it visually appealing for your holiday breakfast.
Seasoning: Sprinkle salt over the tofu scramble to taste. The salt complements the robust flavors of the turmeric and spices, bringing everything together in perfect harmony.
Final Touch: Continue to cook until the tofu absorbs the flavors of the sauce, and the veggies are tender yet vibrant. Your Turmeric Tofu Scramble is now ready to be plated!
Serving Suggestions: Serve the scramble on a festive plate, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or chives. Pair it with whole-grain toast or avocado slices for a complete holiday breakfast experience.
Conclusion:
This Turmeric Tofu Scramble is not just a plant-powered alternative; it's a celebration of flavors that will make your holiday breakfast memorable. Feel free to experiment with different veggies, herbs, or spices to suit your taste preferences. Embrace the joy of a delicious, savory start to your day!
