Cheezy Scramble

my rating for this recipe: ★★★★☆

this recipe was very good. if i had ever attempted a vegan scramble before, i'd probably say it was delicious and give it 5 stars...but the closest thing i can compare it to is actual scrambled eggs, which it is sadly not. but it does come pretty darn close!

for my 1st recipe, please forgive the photo of the leftover cheezy scramble; going forward i will post pictures of the meals before they are gobbled up!

ingredients list:

for cheez sauce:

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup nutritional yeast

1 tsp garlic powder

2 cups water

1 tsp yellow mustard

4 tbsp vegan margarine

(this makes more than double the amount of sauce you need, but i made it all to use for another recipe we are making for dinner...if you don't need cheezy sauce for anything else you'll be making, you should halve this recipe!)

for scramble:

1/2 onion, chopped

1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

cooking oil, as needed

1 lb extra firm tofu, drained and crumbled

a few pinches of turmeric

salt & pepper, to taste

(i'm not a fan of green pepper, so you can sub w/red or yellow...or just use the whole onion instead!)

directions:

1. for cheez sauce, mix first 3 ingredients together in sauce pan. add water and mix thoroughly. heat on medium until thick and bubbly. remove from heat and add mustard and margarine. set aside.

2. for stir fry, saute onion and green pepper in oil. when they are good and soft, move them to the sides of the pan and form an empty circle in the middle for your tofu.

3. add more oil to the middle of the pan, then add your drained, crumbled tofu. when it starts to get golden, mix in the peppers and onion and keep frying. add a few small pinches of turmeric.

4. when it looks like you could eat it, add the cheez sauce and mix it all in to coat, until that becomes golden brown too. i sauted this for another couple of minutes.

eat and enjoy! this is soooo good and it’s great on toast!
