Ingredients

  • 1 block Firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 medium Onion
  • 1/2 medium Bell pepper
  • 1 cup Mushrooms
  • 2 stalks Scallions
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1Place the 1 block Firm tofu on a clean surface and press firmly with your hands or a clean kitchen towel to remove as much excess water as possible. Once pressed, crumble the tofu into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. 2Heat the 1 tbsp Vegetable oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C).
  3. 3Add the 1/2 medium Onion, chopped into small pieces, and the 1/2 medium Bell pepper, also chopped into small pieces, to the hot skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened and the onion looks translucent.
  4. 4Add the 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced, to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and appear tender.
  5. 5Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet along with the 2 tbsp Soy sauce, 1/2 tsp Turmeric, and 1/2 tsp Garlic powder. Stir everything together well to coat the tofu evenly. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 8 minutes, until the tofu is heated through and has a lightly browned appearance.
  6. 6While the tofu is cooking, thinly slice the 2 stalks Scallions. Once the tofu scramble is ready, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in most of the sliced scallions, reserving a few for garnish.
  7. 7Serve the Vietnamese Inspired Tofu Scramble immediately, garnished with the remaining sliced scallions.
