Pepper and tomato tofu scramble
Crumbled extra-firm tofu cooks with sweet pepper, tomato and a small measured amount of turmeric in a savory egg-free breakfast.
Ingredients
Volumes are approximate. For baking, use a scale; Metric keeps the specified gram weights.
Let’s make it
- Drain tofu packing liquid, weigh about 1 lb + 5 oz (600 g) and pat the surface lightly; do not press. Crumble by hand into irregular bite-size curds, keeping some larger pieces rather than making a paste. Heat olive oil in a broad skillet over medium heat.
- Cook onion and pepper 8-10 minutes until softened. Add garlic, turmeric and paprika and stir 30 seconds. Add all tomato and juices and cook 3-4 minutes until loose liquid reduces slightly.
- Add all crumbled tofu, salt and black pepper. Fold gently and cook 8-10 minutes until steaming throughout, following any longer package cooking instruction. Let excess moisture evaporate without pressing liquid out of the tofu; lower heat if spices catch. Stir in all scallion and cook 1 minute.
- Divide everything into four portions and serve hot. Refrigerate leftovers in shallow containers within 2 hours, use within 3 days and reheat to 165°F (74°C). No toast or other accompaniment is included in this recipe's estimate.

Calculation notes & sources
ESTIMATED per serving. Brand, crop, preparation, draining, pan residue and substitutions change actual nutrition. Not laboratory analysis. Each ingredient retains its primary food description and state. All listed ingredient masses are counted; cooking moisture changes do not change the stated portion count. No generic nutrient-retention factor is invented. Calories are kcal; protein, total carbohydrate, fat and total sugar are grams. Total carbohydrate includes fiber and is not net carbohydrate. Fiber and sodium are not displayed. Equal portions or explicitly counted items define the stated recipe yield. US/Metric display changes do not change these canonical inputs. Primary-source supplements are retained per ingredient where USDA lacks a field; missing values are never silently changed to zero. All scramble divided by four. Contains soy. Vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free tags require plain tofu and verified suitable seasonings; individual cross-contact requirements remain. No bread, egg, cheese, nutritional yeast or plant milk included.
