Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 carton firm tofu -- drained and lightly pressed

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 medium potatoes -- cooked, diced

1/3 cup diced onion

4 large scallions -- including half of the greens, sliced

1 garlic clove -- chopped

2 zucchini -- diced

1 cup corn kernels -- cooked or raw

1 bell pepper -- finely diced

2 Roma tomatoes -- seeded arid diced

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

2 tablespoons chopped basil or marjoram

2 whole eggs or 3 egg whites -- (optional)

1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese -- grated, optional

 

A scramble, like fried rice or a casserole, can absorb all kinds of vegetables,

including any interesting bits and leftovers that might be hiding in the

refrigerator. If you wish additional protein, 1 or 2 beaten eggs can be added

at the last minute.

 

Heat a nonstick skillet, add 2 teaspoons of the oil, and crumble in the tofu.

Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is dry and

lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, turn it into a

bowl, and set aside. Return the pan to the heat.

 

Add the remaining oil to the pan and add the next six ingredients. Saute over

high heat until the vegetables are hot and starting to color a bit. Add the

tomatoes and herbs. Season the vegetables, then return the tofu to the pan.

 

If using the eggs, pour them over the tofu and vegetables, then cook, while

stirring, until they're set. Add the cheese, if using.

 

Serves 3 to 4.
