I love tofu scramble. I’ve tried many variations of tofu scramble over the years but this tofu scramble recipe with nutritional yeast is absolutely amazing! Nutritional yeast is so versatile and is a vegan’s best friend. 🙂 It’s a terrific veggie/vegan dietary supplement and has a nutty (some even say cheesy) flavour. It’s also rich in vitamin B-12 and packed with protein –1 heaping tbsp has about 8 grams! Aside from it’s nutritional benefits and awesome taste, nutritional yeast is also a wonderful yellow colour! I like my tofu scramble to look like scrambled eggs (this way I get to trick the meat-eaters :P) and so the addition of nutritional yeast is perfect! This recipe came out so wonderfully delicious and satisfying – try it for yourself and see. 😉 I had it with some hummus and avocado.

8. 2 tbsp pesto, optional
9. 1-2 tsp chilli flakes
10. salt & pepper to taste
11. freshly chopped cilantro for garnish, optional

Instructions

1. Drain tofu (I usually do this by placing it between 2 plates, putting something heavy on top, and letting it sit for about 10-20 minutes and then draining the excess water).
2. Crumble up the tofu with your hands and set aside.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
4. When hot, add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.
5. Next, add the crumbled tofu along with the onions, salsa/tomatoes, nutritional yeast, spinach and pesto, if using. Mix well.
6. Add all the remaining spices and let cook for abut 5 minutes.
7. Adjust spices to taste.
8. If you like, garnish with some chopped cilantro and hummus and avocado.
