Veggie Scrambled Tofu



Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes 
Makes: 4 cups


 

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces firm tofu
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh, canned, or frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
     

Directions:

  1. Pat tofu dry, then use a fork to crumble into bite-size pieces.
  2. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the other vegetables and cook until soft, for about 5 minutes. 
  3. Use a spatula to move the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the tofu, salt, turmeric (optional) and pepper. Sauté for a few minutes. Stir tofu and veggies together until they are well combined. Cook for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Serve immediately, with tomato slices on the side.
     


Notes:

Tofu is made from soybeans, and often used in Asian and vegetarian cooking. It has a mild flavor and soaks up whatever sauce you cook it with.
