TOFU SCRAMBLE WITH SOYRIZO
I was looking for something different and tasty for breakfast but didn't want to eat eggs. So I came up with this recipe. It's very filling but not overly spicy. If you like more heat add some hot sauce to it. This would be really good wrapped in a tortilla served with some salsa on the side.

Steps:
- Crumble the tofu into large pieces. Remove the soyrizo from its clear wrapper and mix one of the sausages with the tofu. I found one link is plenty here.
- Chop up the onion and bell pepper and saute it with the tofu/soyrizo mixture for about 5 minutes. Stir this frequently as it may stick and add a bit more oil if you want.
- Warm your tortilla if using and then spread the tofu/soyrizo mixture on the tortilla. Fold up and enjoy.
- You can also wrap the tortillas up in tin foil and keep warm, this will soften the tortilla.
- Serve with your favorite salsa.
- Ole!

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.
TOFU AND SOYRIZO® PASTA
This is a deliciously satisfying pasta with vegetables, tofu, and the kick of flavor only soy chorizo can bring to food in a tomato sauce. I use a mix of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots.
