"The mind is like tofu. It tastes like whatever you marinate it in." -Sylvia Boorstein
This is a great eggless "scrambled egg" dish. The addition of turmeric adds great color and flavor to this versatile recipe.
You can use the veggies of your choice. Green or yellow peppers are great, but even something spicy like poblano peppers brings a lot to the dish. Substitute spinach for kale, use crimini mushrooms, add more garlic… There are so many choices that can make this your own.
For tofu recipes like this, using a firm tofu and pressing the water out makes for a more "dry" version of the scrambled eggs. If you like your scrambled eggs creamier, use either regular tofu or firm tofu. You can experiment with whether to press the water out or not based on your tastes.
