Steps:
- Chop the tofu and use a fork to crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
- Add some oil to a frying pan and when it's hot, add the tofu and all the remaining ingredients (salt, turmeric powder, and ground black pepper). Stir until well combined and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Serve your tofu scramble immediately (I served my tofu scramble over some toasted bread and topped it with fresh parsley) with fresh fruit, vegan bacon, or vegan sausage as part of a vegan brunch. You can also serve it with vegan pancakes, vegan crepes, vegan banana bread, and coffee or juice.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also prepare the tofu before cooking and freeze it for up to 5 months. On the other hand, you can also freeze your tofu scrambled eggs after cooking. If you do, the tofu will get a chewier texture, although the eggy flavor won't change. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Add a little oil, water, or vegetable stock if needed.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu container, then pat the tofu dry with a clean dish towel. Place the tofu in a large bowl and use your fingers to break the tofu into bite-sized irregular shaped pieces. (It might be a little cold on your hands: don't worry, it should only take a few seconds!) Stir in the olive oil, turmeric, salt and pepper.
- Add the cumin and garlic powder to a dry skillet. Cook on medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tofu and increase the heat to medium high. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and starting to lightly brown. Remove the heat and place it on the serving plates. Serve with toast, veggie saute (below), or if you want to get fancy, vegan bacon.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion. Thinly slice the bell pepper. Heat the olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the onion and peppers. Cook 4 to 6 minutes until just starting to brown, stirring occasionally. Add a pinch of salt and the baby greens. Cook for 30 seconds until wilted. Remove from the heat and serve alongside the tofu scramble.

TOFU SCRAMBLE
This quick scramble is a combination of flavors and textures that will surprise and delight tofu-lovers and doubters alike. Soy sauce, turmeric and cumin provide bold seasoning, while searing the block of tofu on both sides before breaking it up yields plenty of crispy bits as well as tender ones. You can add cooked vegetables, leafy greens, beans, cheese or nutritional yeast with the scallions in Step 4, though you may want to increase the seasoning depending on the amount of extras you add. You can also swap in hot sauce, mustard or tahini for the soy sauce and play around with spice combinations, but don't skip the splash of water - it helps the tofu soak up all the flavors. Serve with toast, tortillas, salad or breakfast potatoes.

Steps:
- Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally as you would a hamburger bun. Pat both pieces dry and wrap in paper towels. If time allows, press the tofu by placing a cast-iron skillet or other heavy object on top of the wrapped tofu for about 30 minutes. (This helps remove moisture so the tofu retains its shape better during cooking.)
- In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the soy sauce, turmeric and cumin with 2 tablespoons water.
- Unwrap the tofu and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the tofu blocks and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook until golden brown and crisp on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes. If the tofu is emitting water, hold the tofu with a spatula and pour the water out of the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break up the tofu into chunks. Add the scallions and the seasoning mixture and cook, stirring and continuing to break up the tofu, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use firm or extra-firm tofu. This type of tofu will hold its shape better when scrambled and will absorb the flavors of the other ingredients more easily.
- Press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove excess water from the tofu, resulting in a more firm and flavorful scramble.
- Crumble the tofu into small pieces. This will help it to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Use a non-stick skillet. This will help to prevent the tofu from sticking and burning.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from burning and will allow it to cook evenly.
- Add your desired seasonings and vegetables. Some popular options include garlic, onion, peppers, and spinach.
- Serve immediately. Tofu scramble is best served hot and fresh.
