Recipe: 'Cheesy' Tofu Scramble



[INGREDIENTS]

* Flour (1/4 cup)
* Nutritional Yeast (1/4 cup)
* Garlic Powder (1/2 tsp)
* Soy Sauce or Bragg liquid Aminos (1 tbsp)
* Water (1 cup)
* Yellow Mustard (1 tsp)
* Vegan Butter (1 tbsp)

* Onion (1/2 chopped)
* Green Bell Pepper (1/2 chopped)
* Olive Oil (2 tbsp)

* Extra-firm Tofu (1 package drained and crumbled)
* Olive Oil (2 tbsp)
* Turmeric (1 tsp)
* Cayenne Pepper (1/2 tsp) (optional for spicy-phobes)
* Salt and Pepper (to taste)






[STEP 1]
Make the 'cheese' sauce: In a medium sauce pan combine the first 5 ingredients. Heat the mixture over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat.

[STEP 2]
To the cheese sauce stir in the mustard and butter until combined and the butter is melted. Set aside.

[STEP 3]
In a separate pan heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat and then add your chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until tender and onions are mostly transparent. Set aside.

[STEP 4]
In another pan (but preferably a wok) heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat and add your crumbled tofu. Cook until tofu begins to slightly brown.

[STEP 5]
To the tofu add the cooked onion and bell pepper, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and the cheese sauce.

[STEP 6]
Continue cooking over medium heat for a few minutes until everything is heated through. Serve alone or on toast!
