I'm going to pat myself a tad on the back for keeping up with this "challenge", I know it's only been a few days but...I'm doing it!!
A classic breakfast jam is scrambled eggs. I remember as kid being overwhelmingly stoked when I first learned how to make these fluffy eggs! My brother and I would go nuts and make them as intricate or colorful as possible. They were a base for any and everything we were craving, like a kitchen sink scramble. Considering this nifty lifestyle of mine, I haven't had scrambled eggs on over a decade (!!!) but a classic and go to Sunday morning hangover healer is scrambled tofu! Similar to the scrambled eggs I'd smother in ketchup as a child, but this time cruelty-free, healthier, high in fiber and protein, and dare I say, more versatile?!
Scrambled tofu only needs a few basic ingredients, pepper (why, because it's great), turmeric (color and extra noms), and tofu. If you want an "eggy" flavor, black salt is the secret ingredient. I throw in loads of veggies to add extra nutrition and a bit of more visual pleasure.
The one pictured is chalk full of zukes, tomatoes, teeny chunks of kale, red pepper (attempting to grow a tolerance for this), avocado(!!!), and veggie bacon crumbles. I threw in cayenne pepper, sriracha, some white pepper, and a kiss of curry.
What you need:
- tofu (as much as you want really, a block will feed two people, if you're super hungover...don't share)
- 1-2 teaspoons turmeric (more if you like it)
- 1 teaspoon of black salt (again, adjustable)
- whatever veggies you're craving
- 1-2 Tablespoons of olive/coconut/sesame oil (want an Asian kick, sesame that jam!)
- heat up a medium-large skillet with the oil on medium high
- Smash that tofu (pat it dry) with your hands and throw it in the steamy pan
- add in the spices and mix, let it brown a bit
- **If you're adding veggies, throw them in with the tofu of even a bit before to soften them up
- dish it up, and smother in whatever sauces you fancy, or just consume
