Welcome to Vegan Monday! This week I am making Scrambled Tofu with Peppers and Mushrooms. This is a great dish for a healthy Vegan breakfast. Tofu is just so amazing and so versatile- it will take the flavor of whatever you are making with it. In this case, the tofu took on the tangy and spicy flavor of the curry powder and had the texture and consistency of scrambled eggs but without the cholesterol.
I made a batch of this and took it with me to work everyday this past week. I just can’t get enough of that curry flavor!
