Vegan Scrambled Tofu with Vegetables

This vegan scrambled tofu with vegetables is a quick and easy way to get your protein and veggie fix. It's made with extra-firm tofu, which is crumbled and cooked until browned. Then, chopped onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms are added and cooked until softened. Finally, nutritional yeast, turmeric, and black pepper are stirred in and cooked for another minute or two, or until the tofu is heated through. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Scrambled tofu is the vegan's answer to scrambled eggs. It's a quick and easy way to get your protein and veggie fix, and it's just as versatile as its eggy counterpart. You can add any vegetables you like, and you can season it to taste. I like to add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, and turmeric and black pepper for a little bit of spice.
