The recipe calls for:
- 8 oz salsa
- 1 (16-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, mashed
- Salt, pepper, and garlic powder, to taste
- 1/3 cup soy milk
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
For the tofu, I used Nasoya Extra Firm Tofu, though, you could just as easily use Nasoya Lite Firm Tofu, (which I normally use,) that is only half the calories or the extra firm. It just strikes me as funny that there is a "diet" version of tofu, which is normally considered a diet food in and of itself.
I used Organic Unsweetened Silk Soymilk, because the sweetened soy milk, even original flavor, always tastes weird to me in more savory recipes. If you want to use regular stuff though, knock yourself out. And hey, while you're at it, you could use any fake milk you wanted to! It seems like you can really never run out of options there.
For the Nutritional Yeast, I used Red Star brand nutritional yeast. (However, on their website, I can't find it listed in the products. But it's in my grocery store! I saw it there today when I was picking up more CTTVCC supplies!)
Here is what the tofu scramble looks like after cooking:
Don't mind the plate I hand-decorated in elementary school, but this is what it looks like on delicious toast :
Now then, this is a recipe that you either want to make for a lot of people, or only make part of it. I personally cut the recipe by a third, and I still had enough to load up 3 pieces of toast with it. This would also work as a breakfast burrito, you could eat it on tortilla chips, pita pockets, (The recipe says with potatoes or faux meat of some kind,) or just by itself. My mother tried some before she went to work, and she said it was so delicious, that she couldn't stop thinking about it all day at work. For real guys, this stuff is crazy-good.
