Tofu Scramble

This is my take on the famed tofu scramble. The recipe is very much a baseline for other flavors. For example, the dish can easily be turned into a masala scramble by adding spice blends and a bit of nut milk. That has been a favorite of mine lately. Try it. Test it. Tell me what you’d do with it. Have fun!
