🧾 Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Tofu: I used firm tofu packed in water found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Extra firm will also work.
• Turmeric: Adds a yellow color and flavor. You could leave it out.
• Tamari: I used low sodium gluten free tamari because I like to control the amount of sodium. You could also use soy sauce.
• Red bell pepper: You could also use green bell peppers or another vegetable.
• Mushrooms: Use your favorite or another veggie.
• Carrots: Adds sweetness and crunch.
• Green onions: You could also use a yellow onion, red onion, or white onion.
• Garlic: Adds a pungent taste.
• Spinach: I like spinach because it is mild in flavor. You could also use kale or other greens.
• Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor.
• Olive oil: To cook the tofu spinach recipe.

🔪 Instructions

1. Drain tofu. Add olive oil or spray to a hot skillet on medium high heat.
2. Add tofu, crumbling as you add it to the pan. Cook on medium high heat for 5 minutes.
3. Add turmeric, tamari, salt and pepper. Cook a couple of minutes.
4. Add chopped vegetables (except spinach), green onion, and minced garlic. Cook until crisp tender.
5. Add spinach, in batches if necessary, and cook 2-3 minutes or until wilted.
6. Four cups of spinach may sound like a lot, but it does shrink down quite a bit. I put a variable amount of turmeric, because I like a good amount. I would taste it after ½ teaspoon, and see how you like it.

🥡 Storage

This spinach tofu scramble recipe will last about 4-5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

What Kind of Tofu Is Used?

I think firm tofu is best for this recipe. You could also use extra firm tofu, but I prefer to use that for recipes where the tofu needs to hold together like grilling.

Do I Need To Press The Tofu?

There's no need to press the tofu for this recipe. Make sure to drain the tofu first. any leftover water will cook down.

Do I Need to Use Turmeric?

Turmeric adds a yellow color and a nice flavor in my opinion. You can omit it if you want.
