How to Make Smoky Scrambled Tofu With Tomatoes And Chile By Deborah Madison

  1. Press 1 block (14 oz) of extra-firm tofu to remove excess water. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.
  3. Add 1-2 serrano chiles, finely minced (wear gloves!), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  4. Crumble the pressed tofu into the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder over the tofu. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, until the tofu is browned and slightly crispy.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped tomatoes, salt to taste, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 2 tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese (or vegan alternative). Cook for another minute to heat through.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
