Hi,

For 'scrambled eggs' vegan style, try a tofu scrambler. We have something in the

Files right now, which might be the kind of thing you are looking for:

 

SPICY TOFU SCRAMBLE (VEGAN) Spicy

 

Ingredients:

half pound extra firm tofu

pich or salt and pepper

1 tsp. crushed garlic

2 tbsp. nutrional yeast

1 1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning

1 tsp. red wine vinegar

1/2 tsp oregano

 

1/3 cup finely diced red pepper

1/3 cup finely diced celery

1/2 cup finely diced onion

1 small red chili finely diced

 

1 tsp. olive oil for cooking.

 

Take the tofu block and wrap in a towel, put a large weight on top of it to

press, so the towel will absorb the water. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Remove the tofu from the towel. Cut the pressed tofu into 1X1 inch cubes and

place in a bowl. Add the crushed garlic, salt, pepper, Old Bay, nutritional

yeast, Oregano and red wine vinegar. Mash together until all ingredients are

mixed.

 

In a heated pan, add the tsp. of olive oil. Once the oil is heated and the pan

at about medium high, add the diced celery, red pepper, onion and chili pepper.

Saute for about 5 minutes, the add the tofu mash mixture. Continue to cook for

another 5-8 minutes, adding a little more vinegar or water (and I mena a little,

less than a tsp!!) if tofu becomes to dry or burns.

Then voila! put in a bowl or plate and serve with your favorite hot sauce. I

used Lizano, which is Costa Rica's " typical " hot sauce. Yum!

Hope you enjoy.
