How to make tofu scramble
Tofu scramble is very straightforward to make. All you do is scramble a firm block of tofu with a fork and add some turmeric (for colour), nutritional yeast (for a slightly cheesy taste) and some garlic powder (because let’s be honest everything tastes better with garlic). Heating the mixture in a pan will help the turmeric turn a bright yellow colour reminiscent of egg yolks. Once warm, you can eat the tofu scramble straight away on a slice of your favourite bread. Don’t be shy, load up as many of your favourite ingredients on the plate too..mushrooms, tomatoes, cooked potatoes, meat-free sausages, fried greens or whatever ever takes your fancy.
