ingredients
- 14 ounces package medium or firm tofu
- 1/2 cups room temperature water
- 1/2 teaspoons finely ground Himalayan Black Salt - Kala Namak
- 1/4 teaspoons finely ground turmeric
- 1/8 teaspoon finely ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Method
Step 1
Thoroughly drain the water from the package of tofu. The simplest and fastest way is by using a tofu press, but you can also sandwich the tofu between two cutting boards (I suggest first slicing the block of tofu into 1"- 2" thick slabs) and then press down firmly, or, place heavy cans or books on top and let it sit for 10-15 minutes (on a slight slant so the liquid drains into a bowl or sink).
Step 2
Place the drained tofu in a bowl and break it up with a fork.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over med-high heat.
Step 4
Add tofu to pan and turn with a flat spatula.
Step 5
In a measuring cup, combine water, Kala Namak, turmeric and cumin. Pour over tofu while cooking, turn heat to medium.
Step 6
Continue occasionally turning the tofu while liquid cooks. Once all the liquid is fully absorbed, the tofu is ready to serve.
Step 7
Garnish scramble with tomato, avocado, vegan cheese...whatever you have on hand! Other yummy add-ons include: Artichoke hearts Zucchini, spinach, mushrooms (fresh or sauteed) Sliced olives Onions Cilantro Chives Salsas & hot sauces Just have fun with it & have a good morning!
