Tofu scramble for the win again.

This time I used all three tofus 👌
One each: firm, medium, and soft.
It made the best scramble texture.

How to:
	•	Sauté ½ red onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 8 chopped mushrooms, and 1 orange pepper

	•	Add 1 tbsp @shaniseasoning vegan egg spice
or: ½ tsp turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, smoked paprika + 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

	•	Crumble in 3 tofu blocks

	•	Mix together and serve with your favourite sourdough and a mega salad

	•	Top with @sriracha_ca and green onion

💪🏽 20–30 g protein on this beauty plate 🤤
