Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) container extra-firm tofu, drained
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup sliced mushrooms
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup grape tomatoes
3 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
1 ounce crumbled queso fresco

Steps:

  • Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top (a container filled with water works well). Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid. Crumble tofu into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, scallions, and jalapeno; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in crumbled tofu and red pepper flakes. Cover and cook until flavors blend, about 4 minutes.
  • Season the tofu mixture with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes and 3 tablespoons cilantro; cook and stir until tomatoes are just heated through, about 2 minutes. Spoon tofu scramble onto 2 plates; sprinkle queso fresco on top. Garnish with the remaining cilantro.

I've made tofu scrambles before, but this one is definitely my new favorite. The addition of the nutritional yeast and smoked paprika really takes it to the next level.

This tofu scramble was a delightful surprise! The flavors were so well-balanced and the texture was perfect. I especially loved the crispy bits of tofu that added a nice crunch.
