Spicy Asian Tofu Scramble Recipe

July 13, 2015 By Colleen 12 Comments

I'd love it if you'd share this post:

Have you ever tried a tofu scramble?  It’s the perfect easy vegan and gluten free meal for breakfast or even dinner!  The great thing about tofu is that it takes on the flavor of all the spices and seasonings you cook it with, so the possibilities for creating different dishes with it are endless.   If you have never worked with tofu check out my post on how to prepare and use tofu.

This Spicy Asian Tofu Scramble takes on the flavors of sesame and ginger, and the spice of sriracha.  Chopped scallions add a fresh crisp to this hearty and delicious scramble.

Enjoy this tofu skillet with a couple slices of avocado or some steamed veggies for a delicious, gluten free, vegan breakfast. This is also known as a skillet meal, and is a quick and easy  protein packed meal the whole family will enjoy.

Tofu is made from soybean curds. It is naturally gluten-free and low in calories. It contains no cholesterol and is an excellent source of iron and calcium. It is an important source of protein, especially for vegans and vegetarians. 

A diet that contains tofu and a variety of other plant-based foods appears to contribute to overall health and wellbeing, and a lower risk of conditions such as obesity, and diabetes.

It can enhance the skin and hair, boost energy, and help maintain a healthy weight.

Research has linked tofu, with its high levels of isoflavones, to a lower risk of several age- and lifestyle-related diseases such as high heart disease and menopause.

      I make tofu scrambles and love them but have been limiting tofu in my diet since it acts like estrogen and is taken up on the receptors. My mom had estrogen dependent breast cancer.. so I am more careful not about eating it in moderation.

      Scrambles are about the only way, other than in smoothies, that I use tofu these days. I have used tofu for desserts though.

    I’m loving how you switched up the usual scrambled eggs with tofu instead! The flavors look wonderful too. 🙂 I hope you can stop on by and share this or any other recipe with us on Five Friday Finds! 🙂

    I never thought about making an Asian style tofu scramble for breakfast, I usually make a more traditional one with onions, bell pepper, and Spanish spices. I will definitely be trying this recipe.
