Tofu Scramble

Instructions

Squeeze tofu over the sink using your hands. Roughly chop and set aside in a colander to drain.

Combine yeast, spice blend, maple syrup, and soy sauce with 2 tablespoons hot water in a medium-sized bowl. Add chopped tofu and break up with a potato masher or fork, mixing evenly with the yeast mixture. Set aside.

Melt oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, pepper, and garlic (if using) and cook, stirring frequently, for 6 minutes, or until onion is soft and fragrant. Stir in tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until tofu is warmed through. Add spinach and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, or until wilted.

Taste and add salt if required. Serve with tomato salsa if desired.
