Instructions

  1. Mise en Place

    Gather and measure all ingredients, drain the tofu, dice the pepper, and set out a cutting board, knife, skillet, bowl, and spatula. · 5 min

    What to look for: All ingredients are measured and ready beside the skillet.

  2. Warm Skillet

    Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat until it shimmers and moves easily across the surface. · 2 min

    What to look for: The oil looks glossy and fluid.

  3. Soften Pepper

    Add the diced pepper and cook, stirring often, until the pieces soften slightly and their edges look glossy. · 4 min

    What to look for: The pepper is brighter, glossy, and lightly softened.

  4. Crumble Tofu

    Crumble the tofu by hand into the skillet, then stir gently so the pieces stay tender and uneven like soft curds. · 2 min

    What to look for: The tofu is broken into small, irregular curds.

  5. Season Tofu

    Sprinkle in turmeric, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper, then add water and fold until the tofu turns golden. · 3 min

    What to look for: The tofu is evenly golden and lightly coated.

  7. Serve Bowl

    Spoon the scramble into 2 warm bowls and serve hot while the peppers are sweet, the spinach is vivid, and the tofu is soft. · 1 min

    What to look for: Each bowl holds a hot, golden tofu scramble with visible vegetables.

Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 3 days
  • Freezer: yes, up to 1 months
  • Warm in a covered skillet over medium heat with 15 ml water until steaming throughout.

Ingredient substitutions

Tofu

  • Extra firm tofu: Use the same weight and crumble by hand for a drier scramble.

Turmeric

  • Turmeric powder: Use a fresh, bright powder for the classic golden color.

Spinach

  • Baby spinach: Baby leaves wilt faster and keep the bowl tender.

Nutritional yeast

  • Nutritional yeast flake: Use plain flakes rather than sweetened or flavored blends.

Pepper

  • Sweet pepper: Any sweet pepper color works while keeping the same breakfast bowl profile.

Olive oil

  • Butter: This keeps the cooking fat role but makes the bowl no longer vegan.
