One of the easiest things to make with tofu are tasty tofu scrambles. They’re fast, flexible, and filled with vegetables and savory seasonings. Best of all, you can enjoy a tasty tofu scramble for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
What to serve with tofu scrambles: This is the kind of meal that can be completed easily with fresh bread or tortillas. For a heartier meal, add a potato dish like Hash Brown Potatoes. A simple salad and/or fresh fruit are also great companions.
What kind of tofu is best for scrambles?
While what type of tofu to use is pretty flexible, I prefer the firm variety that comes in a tub. Extra-firm works well, too. Make sure to drain or press well ahead of time. Using a tofu press is ideal!
What about silken tofu? Firm or Extra-firm silken tofu that comes in the asceptic packages works nicely, but since the packages have been reduced to 10.9 ounces (until fairly recently they were 12.3 ounces), just be aware that it leaves you with less tofu per serving. Don’t use the kind of silken tofu that comes in tubs; it’s simply too soft and mushy.
