Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 package soft tofu

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil -- or butter or mixture of both

2 pinches turmeric

1 jalapeno -- seeded and diced

3 scallions -- slit lengthwise then chopped

salt

2 eggs -- lightly beaten OR

1 egg -- plus

2 egg whites

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

2 roma tomatoes -- seeded and chopped

1/2 cup muenster or monterey jack cheese -- grated

2 cups tortilla chips -- heaping

 

Press the tofu to get most of the water out while you gather the rest of your

ingredients.

 

Heat a medium nonstick skillet and add the oil. When hot, crumble the tofu into

the pan into pieces about the size of scrambled-egg curds. Sprinkle with the

turmeric, add the chile and scallions, and season with 1/2 tsp salt. Cook over

high heat, stirring occasionally, until any water remaining in the tofu has

cooked away, but not so long that the tofu turns hard. It should remain a little

tender, like scrambled eggs.

 

Pour in the eggs and add the cilantro and tomatoes. Reduced the heat a little

and cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are nearly as dry as you like

them. Add the cheese and tortilla chips and continue cooking until the eggs are

done. Serve onto plates with a slotted spoon so that any remaining water in the

tofu stays in the pan.

 

All Tofu Migas: If you're not using eggs, use the entire carton of tofu and an

extra pinch of turmeric to give them a nice yellow hue. Once the tofu has firmed

up, add the cilantro, tomatoes, cheese, and tortillas, cook until the cheese is

melted and everything is hot.

 

NOTE: To make your own corn chips, start with corn tortillas --stale, if

possible -- and cut them into strips or wedges. Spray lightly with oil or leave

dry. Bake at 425F until crisp or microwave a single layer of chips at a time,

for 1 minute on high, then turn and microwave for 40 seconds longer, or until

crisp.
