Ingredients:

• 14-16 oz. package extra-firm tofu
• 3-4 Tbsp. Bragg’s Liquid Aminos*

Preparation:

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together amino acids, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, turmeric, and the olive oil.
2. Drain tofu and crumble into small pieces. Add to the bowl and toss lightly. The tofu should turn light brown or yellow. Mix in shredded vegan cheddar. Set aside.
3. In a large, non-stick fry pan, heat the buttery spread over medium-high heat. Brown onions and peppers, stirring occasionally until they soften. Add the tofu and fry until it starts to brown.
4. Push tofu and vegetables to the center of the pan. Surround with frozen hash browns and add a few tablespoons of water, if necessary. Cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.
5. Uncover and stir together all ingredients. Cook over medium heat for ten minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Enjoy your tofu scramble.

*Substitute with soy sauce or tamari, if necessary.
