Tofu Scramble

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or other mildly flavored oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 14 ounce package of firm or extra firm organic tofu, pressed to remove the water
1 jarred roasted pepper, chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon black salt
Dash cayenne powder
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Directions:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat (I use cast iron). Add onion and saute until it is translucent. With your hands, crumble the tofu into the pan. Add the remaining ingredients, except nutritional yeast, and stir to combine. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu starts to crisp and brown. Add the nutritional yeast, stir, and cook for another two minutes.

Notes:

Black salt is also called kala namak and can be found on Amazon or in an Indian grocery store. It has a sulfur smell and taste. 

Tempeh "Bacon"

Ingredients:

1 package of tempeh
1 tablespoons tamari
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
1 tablespoon onion granules
Peanut oil for frying

Directions:

Place some water in a pot and insert a steamer basket—the water line should be below the steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil, and place the tempeh in the steamer basket. Cover and steam for 5 to 10 minutes.

While the tempeh is steaming, combine the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl

When the tempeh is finished steaming, remove from the steamer basket and cut into very thin slices. Place the pieces in the bowl with the marinade and mix well. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes or longer.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add peanut oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add the tempeh and cook on each side for a few minutes until crisp.
