Tofu Scramble with Avocado Toast, Fresh Berries, and Fresh-Squeezed OJ (Vegan)

serves 2-3

I decided to surprise my girlfriend this morning by making some breakfast! This recipe is delicious and super easy to make.

Fresh-Squeezed OJ

• 7-8 oranges (depending on the size)
• love

Cut the oranges in half and squeeze the juice out with your hands into a large bowl or measuring cup. This will create a large amount of pulp which I personally love but if you don't, you can use a colander or cheese cloth to strain the juice and then set in fridge while you cook!

Avocado Toast

• 2 avocados, mashed
• your favorite type of bread for toast!
• salt to taste
• pepper to taste
• love

First, cut the avocados in half and remove the seed (I've found that the easiest way to do this is to quickly chop into the seed with the sharp side of a large chopping knife so that it is firmly stuck and then slightly turning the knife). Then spoon the avocado into a bowl and mash it with a fork. 

Add salt and pepper to taste. Remember not to toast the bread until after the rest of your breakfast is ready so that it is warm! Once toasted, spread the avocado mixture onto it and serve.

Tofu Scramble

• 1 lb of tofu, sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 of a yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp turmeric (or to taste, I usually don't use a teaspoon to measure, I just sort of put a dash of it in)
• 1/2 tsp cumin (same as turmeric, maybe a little more because the taste isn't as pungent)
• salt to taste
• pepper to taste
• love

So you want to start by draining and then slicing the tofu into 1 cm thin slices. Lay the slices out onto a either a towel or a paper towel and then cover with another layer of towel in order to slightly dry the tofu.

Next, finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat a large frying pan on medium and then add the olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds before adding the onion. Sauté the onion-garlic mix until soft (onions are clear) while slicing the mushrooms (I recommend buying in bulk, its much cheaper and fresher) and chopping the slices of tofu into little cubes. Once the onions are soft, and the tofu and mushrooms. Keep the heat at medium and cover until the water is released from the tofu (3-4 mins).

Now add the yeast, turmeric, and cumin, stirring it to make sure the spices are spread evenly. Lower the heat to low and continue cooking until most of the water has evaporated. Add salt and pepper and serve  immediately. Add the avocado toast and fresh berries as a garnish.

Cheers,
