Breakfast Tofu Scramble

1 block Firm Tofu
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp garlic powder
1 TB onion powder
Dash of Parsley (dried or fresh)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Drain block tofu and squeeze out excess water by pressing on a napkin. Using a fork or potato masher, crumble until tofu resembles scrambled eggs. Mix all ingredients in a pan and cook on medium heat for 8 minutes. As it heats, the scrambled tofu will start to turn yellow, due to the turmeric.

Serve with grits and asparagus (or toast).

I use powdered garlic/onion because it’s fast when rushing out the door in the morning. You can substitute with fresh ingredients (chopped red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, scallions, etc…)
