How to Make 'Cheesy' Tofu Scramble

For those vegans who want to eat exactly what they don't eat any longer: Cheese and Eggs. Serve with toast and soy sausage and hot weekend breakfasts are back!

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Flour (1/4 cup)
• Nutritional Yeast (1/4 cup)
• Garlic Powder (1/2 tsp)
• Soy Sauce or Bragg liquid Aminos (1 tbsp)
• Water (1 cup)
• Yellow Mustard (1 tsp)
• Vegan Butter (1 tbsp)
• Onion (1/2 chopped)
• Green Bell Pepper (1/2 chopped)
• Olive Oil (2 tbsp)
• Extra-firm Tofu (1 package drained and crumbled)
• Olive Oil (2 tbsp)
• Turmeric (1 tsp)
• Cayenne Pepper (1/2 tsp)
• Salt and Pepper (to taste)

1. Make the 'cheese' sauce: In a medium sauce pan combine the first 5 ingredients. Heat the mixture over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat.

2. To the cheese sauce stir in the mustard and butter until combined and the butter is melted. Set aside.

3. In a separate pan heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat and then add your chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until tender and onions are mostly transparent. Set aside.

4. In another pan (but preferably a wok) heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat and add your crumbled tofu. Cook until tofu begins to slightly brown.

5. To the tofu add the cooked onion and bell pepper, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and the cheese sauce. (For you spicy-phobes out there, the cayenne pepper is optional!)

6. Continue cooking over medium heat for a few minutes until everything is heated through. Serve alone or on toast!

Tips & Warnings

• Stir the tofu often, it tends to stick. If it becomes a big problem you can always add more oil.

on 4/4/2009 Tofu is generally a misunderstood food. Granted, if you don't know how to flavor
