TOFU SCRAMBLE
This quick scramble is a combination of flavors and textures that will surprise and delight tofu-lovers and doubters alike. Soy sauce, turmeric and cumin provide bold seasoning, while searing the block of tofu on both sides before breaking it up yields plenty of crispy bits as well as tender ones. You can add cooked vegetables, leafy greens, beans, cheese or nutritional yeast with the scallions in Step 4, though you may want to increase the seasoning depending on the amount of extras you add. You can also swap in hot sauce, mustard or tahini for the soy sauce and play around with spice combinations, but don't skip the splash of water - it helps the tofu soak up all the flavors. Serve with toast, tortillas, salad or breakfast potatoes.

Steps:
- Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally as you would a hamburger bun. Pat both pieces dry and wrap in paper towels. If time allows, press the tofu by placing a cast-iron skillet or other heavy object on top of the wrapped tofu for about 30 minutes. (This helps remove moisture so the tofu retains its shape better during cooking.)
- In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the soy sauce, turmeric and cumin with 2 tablespoons water.
- Unwrap the tofu and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the tofu blocks and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook until golden brown and crisp on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes. If the tofu is emitting water, hold the tofu with a spatula and pour the water out of the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break up the tofu into chunks. Add the scallions and the seasoning mixture and cook, stirring and continuing to break up the tofu, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Add the potatoes to a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, the paprika, oregano, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper and toss until well coated.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, crumble the block of tofu into the pan until it resembles the consistency of scrambled eggs, being careful not to over-crumble because it will continue to break apart as you cook. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the tofu is slightly golden.
- Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, the remaining 2½ teaspoons garlic powder, the onion powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper and stir until well combined. Add the tomatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the tomatoes become slightly wrinkled. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, 3-4 minutes.
- To assemble a burrito, add ¼ of the tofu scramble, ¼ of the potatoes, some avocado, and hot sauce to the center of a tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up, keeping the filling tucked in place. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cut in half and serve.
- Enjoy!

TOFU SCRAMBLE WRAPS
Let's be honest, we all loved grilled tortillas, and I honestly feel like this is the best breakfast I've eaten in my entire 24 years of life. Even if you aren't vegan, or vegetarian even, the flavors that pop out of this sandwich will make you fall in love with breakfast all over again. Fluffy tofu, sweet potatoes, creamy avocado, and slightly spicy green chili tops it all off. You won't want to pass on breakfast this morning. Top with green chili sauce.

- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
- Combine sweet potatoes, onion, bell pepper, lime juice, coconut aminos, garlic powder, and pepper for potatoes in a medium bowl, stirring so that everything is evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking tray.

- While the potatoes are cooking, crumble the tofu into a large, nonstick pan. Add nutritional yeast, coconut aminos, garlic powder, pepper, and black salt. Cook over low heat, adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time if the tofu starts to stick, for 10 minutes. Add seitan and tomato, and cook until everything is warmed through, about 20 minutes.
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Place some potatoes, avocado, and tofu scramble on the tortilla. Start at the bottom and fold the tortilla edge up and over the center into a wrap. Repeat to form remaining wraps.

THE BEST TOFU SCRAMBLE
Another favorite from La Dolce Vegan...I like to make extra...it keeps well in the fridge all week...then I use it again and again for different things when I am feeling lazy. I like to take left-overs of this and put it in with sliced pan-fried potatoes, just when the potatoes are almost done cooking...yum! Makes great egg sandwiches, too! I like to slice cherry tomatoes in half instead of using big tomatoes, as the little ones are more dependable flavor-wise all year long. I like to add the tomatoes a few minutes before cooking is done, just so they get a bit cooked and shriveled...just my preference. Oh, and drain, drain, drain that tofu before you use it, as always!!!

GREEK STYLE TOFU SCRAMBLE
Love tofu scramble, here's another version. Original idea to incorporate some Greek flavours came from www.manyveggierecipes.com. My personal preference for any scramble is medium-firm tofu, water packed. Most recipes call for firm or extra firm, and that'll work, it's really whatever you like best. I know some people prefer silken for a really creamy texture. If you use firm or extra firm, you might need to add a little more liquid.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu from it's packaging water. Place it in a bowl along with the lemon juice and break it up into chunks. Your hands make the best tools here. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the rest. You could also do this step ahead of time.
- In a small bowl mix the tahini and water together -- it can be hard to mix tahini when it's cold, try using hot water and pressing the tahini against the edge of the bowl. Set aside.
- Heat up 1 tbsp of the oil over medium heat, and add in the onion. Allow it to cook through, about 5 minutes. Mix in the garlic and mushrooms and leave for another 5 minutes or so. Next add the tomato, bell pepper and spinach. Allow that all to cook for another 3 minutes or so.
- Push the veg mixture to the edge of you pan. Put the other tbsp of oil in the centre of the pan and when hot, add the turmeric and mustard powder to it. Allow those spices to sizzle in the oil for a minute then add in the tahini water, braggs or soy, nutritional yeast, mashed tofu, oregano and basil. Gently mix everything together well.
- Adjust seasoning and allow it to cook until it thickens to your liking.
