Mom’s vegan scramble

 I keep trying ways to get quick yummy breakfast protein that replaces scrambled eggs in my life. Here’s my latest attempt!

1 brick of tofu, smashed up 

3 tablespoons of yeast-based flavor and salt to taste (taste it)

Smash up together with your hands and taste -adjust as desired.

1/2 cup of gluten flour 

Smash it up again with hands 

Prep pan with sprayed oil.

Fry one layer thick, spray on top also.

Fry covered for a few minutes to make sure gluten gets wet throughout.

Flip and let it get crunchy as desired.

Makes about 6 eggs’ worth of equivalent substance.

I am putting half in fridge for later… we’ll see how it goes…
