Equipment
- 1 nonstick pan, 8 to 10" or a well seasoned cast iron pan or wok
- 1 heatsafe wooden spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 1 lb firm or extra firm tofu This is one block that comes in a plastic carton; see Note 1 for using medium tofu
- 1 Tb cooking oil such as coconut, avocado, or olive oil
- 1 ea zucchini, sliced into ¼" thick half moons this is about ½ a large zucchini or about 5 oz
4 Ingredient Tofu Scramble Seasoning Mix
- 1 Tb nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ tsp salt or to taste; I use ½ teaspoon pink salt
Instructions
- Mush the block of tofu with your hands or a fork into small clumps.
- Heat the oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini and stir fry until the zucchini is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the tofu and seasoning mix to the pan. Stir fry until the tofu is heated through and any water from the tofu has evaporated. This should take around 2-3 minutes.
- Taste for any additional salt and serve hot.
Notes
- You could use medium tofu (instead of firm or extra firm), but you’ll need to stir fry it longer to remove excess liquid. Or you can press it ahead of time between two plates with a weight on top for at least 15 min to remove excess water.
- It really helps if you use a nonstick or other well seasoned pan. Tofu that hasn't been pre-fried can stick so easily to a pan just like actual eggs.
- You don't have to use the zucchini at all. A vegetable just adds extra texture, so the dish isn't so mushy. Bell peppers, mushrooms, or corn kernels would work very nicely too.
- Garnish with your favorite hot sauce, black pepper, or condiment of your choice, like ketchup!
- This dish is best served hot but can be chilled, reheated, and eaten within 3 days.
