Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 block (14oz.) tofu, soft, firm or extra-firm (not silken)
1 - 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon EACH garlic + onion powder, optional
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoon vegan cream, optional
1/4 teaspoon black salt (kala namak), optional
salt + pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • , no need to press as the water will dissipate as it cooks. I typically let the block of tofu rest on its side thin side to drain for a few minutes before using.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat, add the tofu while crumbling it between your fingers (above right). Alternatively, add the tofu block to the skillet and use the back of a fork to mash it a bit. You can also break it up with a wooden spoon. Do whatever is comfortable or makes sense for you. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Add the turmeric, nutritional yeast, optional garlic + onion powder, salt and pepper, cooking for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently. If adding veggies, this is the perfect time to add them.
  • Lastly, add the vegan cream and black salt, and cook another 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Serves 4
  • Serve right away with Breakfast Potatoes or Home Fries, and fresh fruits. Also great with a slice of toasted Artisan Bread!

SHEET-PAN CRISP TOFU AND SWEET POTATOES



Sheet-Pan Crisp Tofu and Sweet Potatoes image

Tossing marinated tofu squares in cornstarch before roasting makes them wonderfully crunchy and brown. Here, the tofu is cooked alongside spears of sweet potato, which are soft and silky against the crisp squares. A tamari-honey dressing spiked with rice wine vinegar acts both as marinade for the tofu and sauce for the finished dish. Then quick-pickled scallions and hot sesame oil make for a bright and spicy garnish.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cut crosswise into 4 1-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons peanut oil, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons tamari
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 medium sweet potatoes (about 8 ounces each), cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch wedges
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 scallions, cut into 3-inch pieces and thinly sliced lengthwise
Large pinch of sugar
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
Hot sesame chile oil, or red-pepper flakes, for serving
Salted, roasted peanuts, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange tofu pieces, cut sides down, on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Cover with another kitchen towel, and place a flat cutting board on top. If your cutting board is lightweight, stack a few cans or a skillet on top to weigh it down. Let tofu drain for at least 10 minutes (and up to 30 minutes), then transfer to a cutting board. Cut strips into 3/4-inch pieces (1-inch thick), and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together oil, tamari, honey and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Toss half the mixture with the tofu, then toss in cornstarch. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan.
  • On a separate rimmed sheet pan, toss together potato wedges, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer; do not crowd the pan. If they don't all fit, arrange extra wedges on the pan with the tofu.
  • Bake tofu and potatoes until browned, 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. If the tofu sticks (and this is likely), use a thin metal spatula to carefully loosen each one before flipping. A small offset spatula is perfect here.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine scallions, 1 tablespoon vinegar and a large pinch each sugar and salt. Let sit while tofu and potatoes roast.
  • To serve, toss tofu with some of the reserved tamari sauce, to taste. Serve with potato wedges, topped with scallions, cilantro and a drizzle of hot sesame chile oil or sprinkling of red-pepper flakes, and more tamari sauce. Sprinkle with peanuts if desired.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 T olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, seeded, deveined and diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
4 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
1 t dried oregano
1 t dried thyme
Pinch sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Add the remaining oil, then add the potatoes, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper, lower the heat and continue to cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are nicely browned. Serve at once.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use extra firm tofu. This type of tofu holds its shape well and won't crumble when you scramble it.
  • Press the tofu before using it. This will help to remove excess water and make the tofu more firm.
  • Crumble the tofu into small pieces. This will help it to cook evenly.
  • 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 overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Don't overcook the tofu. It should be cooked until it is just set, but still slightly soft in the center.
  • Season the tofu to taste. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Serve the tofu scramble with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, avocado, and cheese.

Conclusion:
