Morning Booster






Did you know that for breakfast, instead of scrambled eggs, have scrambled tofu! My dad bought some this morning during breakfast while we were at the GreenStar Coop in Ithaca, NY. Even though, some people some might shrug away at the name of the breakfast because it includes tofu, but it was madd good if you ask me! :) Actually, it was even better than normal scrambled eggs (which is loaded with cholesterol)

Try it for yourself!
*Serves 6*
  • Ingredients:
  • 1 16-ounce block firm tofu
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced thin (1-1/2 tablespoons)
  • 3 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup sliced green onions, scallions, chives, or 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce


Directions:

  1. Drain the tofu and crumble it.
  2. Sauté the garlic and diced pepper with the olive oil in a medium sauté pan on medium heat, for about 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crumbled tofu first, then add turmeric, salt, pepper, green onions (scallions, chives, or onions), and soy sauce.
  4. Cook the tofu for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
