There are a million ways to make a tofu scramble. One can make it Mexican or Southwest Style, Classic American, or with Indian curry spices, etc. That is one the beauties of tofu, its versatility to absorb flavor.
Here is one of my favorite ways to make a tofu scramble. It is very simple, sautéed in a ginger and garlic tamari sauce, with onions, red bell peppers and spinach.
Today I ate this dish with a side of couscous and fresh strawberries.
Apologies if the word "scramble" is a misnomer here as this recipe instructs the cubing of the tofu instead of breaking it all apart in a scrambled egg like crumble. I like the texture of the cubes along with the colors and flavors contributed by the peppers, onions and spinach.
It is important to drain and dry the tofu the best you can in order for the sauce or marinade to be absorbed. I like to pat dry it with a paper towel and let sit for a little while.
