Ingredients

  • 1½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • Salsa sauce of your choice, garnish

Notes

  • If you enjoy Tofu Scramble on a regular basis then for convenience consider making a batch of Tofu Scramble Seasoning.
  • Tofu scramble can be made with either fresh or frozen tofu, or a mixture of each. Frozen tofu will be a little more chewy/spongy which will add more texture to the tofu scramble.
  • When using frozen tofu, thaw completely and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. A salad spinner can work well for this. Alternatively, wrap the tofu in a clean tea towel and leave in fridge for a few hours or overnight, then continue with the recipe.
