Ingredients

Scale

8 ounces extra-firm tofu

12 Tbsp olive oil

1/4 medium red onion (thinly sliced)

1/2 medium red bell pepper (thinly sliced)

2 cups kale (loosely chopped)

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp chili powder

Water (to thin)

1/4 tsp turmeric (optional)

Salsa

Cilantro

Hot Sauce

Breakfast potatoes

toast

and/or fruit


Instructions

  • Begin by pressing the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into small pieces.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the sliced red onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until they are soft.
  • Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet, along with the kale. Stir everything together, cooking until the kale is wilted.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and turmeric (if using). Add a splash of water to thin, then pour the sauce over the tofu mixture.
  • Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
  • Serve hot with optional toppings like salsa, cilantro, and hot sauce, alongside breakfast potatoes, toast, or fruit.

Notes

Feel free to customize this scramble with your favorite vegetables or spices. To keep it less salty, reduce the amount of sea salt.
