This is a very simple and full proof version of scrambled tofu. Feel free to add chopped mushrooms and zucchini if you prefer more vegetables. This is a perfect hearty meal for the morning or afternoon. Tofu is a wonderful life-giving food rich in phytoestrogens. It is also an amazing chameleon--taking on whatever flavour you marinate it with.
Once the dish is ready to eat, season with Obento Sushi & Sushimi Soy Sauce and Obento Rice Wine Vinegar for extra flavour, saltiness and tang!
