Savory Vegetable and Tofu Scramble

This savory vegetable and tofu scramble is a quick and easy way to get your morning protein and veggie fix. It's packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. Add your favorite spices, herbs, and vegetables to make it your own.

I've always been a fan of tofu scrambles, but I've never been able to get them quite right. They always seemed to be either too wet or too dry, and they never had much flavor. But then I discovered the secret to making the perfect tofu scramble: crumbled tofu. Crumbling the tofu gives it a more even texture and allows it to soak up all of the delicious flavors of the vegetables and spices. This scramble is also packed with vegetables, which makes it a great way to get your daily dose of nutrients. You can use any vegetables you like, but I especially love the combination of onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. The cilantro adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor that really brightens up the dish.
