No Oil Scrambled Tofu
If you dislike tofu, but love (or used to love for my vegan friends) scrambled eggs, then this recipe is for you! It's so easy and it takes as long as you want it to take! It can take from 5-20 minutes. Depending on how crisp you like your scrambled tofu.
It's soft from the inside and crispy from the outside. Flavor? Whatever you want. That's my favorite thing about tofu. I highly recommend hot chili pepper sauce, takes it to a whole new level.

Directions:

- Heat a large non-stick skillet on medium-high heat
- Add a little bit of water to barely cover the bottom
- Cook the onions and garlic
- Add the tomatoes
- Add the rest of the veggies and cook until they almost reach how 'cooked' you want them to be
- Cut the tofu to squares
- set the veggies on the side and add the tofu, sautée it around and crumble it to smaller pieces
- Pour the spice mixture on top of the tofu and veggies
- Cook until the water evaporates, moving the tofu and veggies around occasionally
- Turn your oven on broil and heat the tofu and veggies for a few minute o, until you get that toasted texture.
- Serve with a side of potatoes and rosemary and chili pepper sauce!
*You can find firm tofu in a glass jar at Biotic!
