Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Hi, Does anyone have a good, foolproof tofu scramble recipe? I've tried making it a few different ways, but results have been lukewarm. Thanks! Liana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recipe's at http://www.reluctantvegan.com/2005/01/yesterdays-menu-as-best-as-i-can.html -- the main things are the turmeric and the onions. Whenever I've left either thing out, it's been mediocre. serene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 To one package of extra firm tofu (not silken) I add (adjust amounts to your liking): 1 Tbls oil (I use olive and sesame seed but any kind will do) 1/2 med onion - peeled and diced 1 med carrot - peeled if not organic, washed if organic, grated or shredded - your choice 1/2 green bell pepper - seeded and diced 1/2 red, orange, or yellow pepper - seeded and diced 1-2 tsp turmeric 1-2 tsp garlic powder (DH is allergic to fresh garlic so we use garlic powder but you can use one clove of fresh garlic if you'd like - peeled and minced) 1 1/2 tsp dried basil Any other fresh or frozen veggies I have on hand. If I don't have any, it's okay. I just go with what I have. Crumble tofu and put in a colander to drain. Sauté the onion, green pepper, and carrots (also fresh garlic if using) in approx. 1 tablespoon oil until the onions are translucent. Add the tofu, basil, turmeric, and garlic powder and continue to sauté over med heat until the tofu is browned. If I have left over baked potatoes, I love to dice them and throw them in also at the very end. You can also sauté Gimme Lean Soysauge (mash with a potato masher or fork) and add that. If I use the soysauge, I add it right after I've sautéed the onions, carrots, and peppers. When it browns, I then add the tofu. Of course you can cook the soysauge and potatoes separately and have three courses, but I don't like the extra pans to clean up! I serve this with ground flax seeds and nutritional yeast as condiments. God's Peace, Gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I get the firm tofu, crumble it up and mix it in with sautee'd mushrooms, onions, bell peppers. (sauteed with olive oil) Then I season with garlic granules, tumeric. Sometimes I add gimmelean sausage. --- liana_rosabal <OhBoyPeas wrote: > > > Hi, > > Does anyone have a good, foolproof tofu scramble > recipe? Take Mail with you!

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Very interesting. I just read the benefits of turmeric for arthritis and was going to buy some for my dogs. Is it a spice as well as a bottled herb or the same thing?

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Turmeric, the way I use it is a powdered spice. However, because of its many health benefits, you can also find it in capsule form. I don't know about a liquid form. It has a mild taste.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 My tofu scramble recipe is as below except that we normally add some taco seasoning as well, and then saute it until its hot. We serve it in a tortilla with salsa and maybe some vegan cheese slices (I hate'm but some like 'm). Its delicous Yvonnne > I get the firm tofu, crumble it up and mix it in with > sautee'd mushrooms, onions, bell peppers. (sauteed > with olive oil) Then I season with garlic granules, > tumeric.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hmmm. The taco seasoning sounds good.
