Tofu Scramble with Mushrooms tips

Tofu doesn’t immediately lend itself to breakfast. For example, the fact that you have to drain it usually means that I will bypass it in the morning.

However, if I drain it overnight – or start draining it and then go take a morning walk (which is what my best-self would do), it can work out quite well.

Further more, in a pinch, you can make the tofu scramble without draining the tofu. The dish will have a slightly moister texture.

A satisfying start to your day

Breaking the tofu apart into little pieces can be a very satisfying way to start your day. The cute squeaks the tofu and the mushrooms can make as they cook also give you a smile in the morning.

Additionally, I like a few cherry tomatoes and the vinegar to brighten up the dish. They also add a bit of acidity. 

It’s filling and energizing. Better yet, the dish doesn’t have any extra sugars that will give you a high and then a crash before lunch.
