Ingredients
- 12 oz block extra-firm tofu
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cumin
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and pat dry with a fresh dishtowel.
- Put the tofu in a huge bowl and use a fork to mash it into irregularly shaped pieces.
- Stir in the olive oil, turmeric powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a non-stick pan, add garlic powder and cumin. Cook on a medium flame for a minute until it turns aromatic.
- Mix in the tofu and increase the flame to a medium-high.
- Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stir it occasionally until it is completely heated turning lightly brown.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately with toasted bread and top it with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Pressing the tofu is very important as it allows the tofu to absorb more flavors and seasonings that are added. The more water you get out, the better-flavored tofu you get.
- If you want a soft and minimal texture, use soft tofu. But if you want it to be firm and chewy, use extra-firm tofu.
- Tofu scramble also tastes great with all sorts of vegetables mixed in.
- Omit oil if desired to make the tofu scramble oil-free.
- If you're cooking it oil-free, use some water or vegetable stock instead.
