Ingredients

  • 1 block extra-firm tofu drained and crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil
  • 1/2 small onion diced
  • 1/2 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced (optional, but delicious)
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric for color
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili powder optional kick
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 –3 tablespoons nutritional yeast optional, for cheesy vibe
  • 1 –2 tablespoons unsweetened plant milk optional, for fluff
  • Fresh herbs or hot sauce for finishing optional, because life needs heat

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and pepper; sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and brown a bit. Season with a pinch of salt.
  • Stir in crumbled tofu. Break up any large chunks so it resembles scrambled eggs. Cook 4–5 minutes, letting the edges get a touch golden.
  • Sprinkle turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. The turmeric gives it that sunny, scramble-y color.
  • Stir in nutritional yeast and a splash of plant milk if you want extra creaminess. Cook another minute to meld flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Turn off the heat. Finish with fresh herbs or hot sauce if you’re feeling fancy. Serve hot and enjoy the protein party.
