Vegan Tofu Scramble
Chef Thomas ChristakosTofu Herb Scramble From Jam On Hawthorne
Jam on Hawthorne is a great breakfast spot in Portland, Oregon. On any given morning, there is always a large line of hungry diners waiting patiently outside, ready to fill their hungry tummies with food. We askrd the chef, Thomas Christakos, for quite a while to share the secret for their scramble. Thank you Thomas and Jam for sharing this awesome recipe.
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 red onion, chopped
Sliced mushrooms
Baby spinach
1 16-oz block firm tofu, drained
1 scant tbsp dried oregano
1 scant tbsp dried basil
1-1/2 tsp cumin powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1. In a large skillet, add oil and heat over medium high. Add onions, salt and pepper. Sauté for 1 minute, then add mushrooms, cooking for another minute or two. Add spinach, cooking just until wilted, adding more pepper to taste. Crumble tofu into skillet and cook just until lightly browned. Add spices, stirring until tofu is evenly coated and cook for another minute. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
2. If desired, place fresh spinach on the serving plate and top with hot scramble.

June 21, 2009 | Looks really good! I always have excess water when making tofu scramble, even if I "Press" it beforehand. Especially when using mushrooms (which I love). I now cook the tofu and mushrooms for a while so all of the water gets releasedand drain the excess water into a cup and reserve it to add to broth. I add spices and other vegetables to the tofu and finish making the scramble. If anyone knows: How do I make the scramble without getting all of that water that seeps from the tofu and mushrooms?” —NotBuyingIt!
December 7, 2008 | Wonderful recipe. It is delicious and so easy to make. My partner loves red bell pepper so I added that to the mix as well. Might try with diced tomatoes next time. Thanks for giving me something new and tasty! --Also, the video was a tremendous help; everything, including the hashbrowns, went precisely as it did in the video.” —
