Thank you Dana! I followed it to the letter, with one minor change. After six solid months of successful veganism, and two rejected tofu scrambles – yesterday morning I was able to redeem myself with this recipe. He was so appalled by the dish that it took nearly 10 years before he was willing to entertain the idea of going vegan again. It was the very first vegan meal I fed DH many years ago at our first attempt at transitioning from vegetarian to vegan.
Tofu Scramble Redemption – I had a long and contemptible history with tofu scrambles. Much love and gratitude to you for all you do. As you notice any of it begins to stick, add about 1-2 tablespoons of water or vegetable stock and continue frying. The water in the onion is enough for a little while to keep it from sticking. It’s simple, just let a dry pan heat up until splashing water on it forms “dancing beads.” Add onions (or whatever ingredient you’re frying) and let it cook for a couple of minutes.
#UNSCRAMBLE SNOOZE HOW TO#
Chef AJ has a good video on how to do it, as well as Jane Esselstyn. We can fry in water or vegetable stock or any other liquid, and get the same delicious results.
We don’t even need it for frying onions or any other ingredient. The wonderful news is that we don’t need any added oils in our life. When comparing oils in peer reviewed studies, some oils are less bad than others, but they all inhibit nitric oxide production, which is detrimental to our health. There are no heart-healthy oils, only “less bad” oils. Also, we must always read ingredient lists on things like chips, because they are high in oil. They don’t realize that even frying with oil on a regular basis is very damaging to our arteries. Many vegans are unaware of this and end up developing cardiovascular disease or diabetes even though they eat healthy food. Nitric oxide is normally produced by our endothelial cells to keep blood flowing smoothly and when we consume oil we diminish our arteries’ ability to produce this important molecule. Colin Campbell that even small amounts of oil disrupt production of nitric oxide by the endothelial cells within our arteries. As whole-food, plant-based eaters we’ve learned from such luminaries as Dr. Many vegans are unaware of the damaging effect of oil (even olive oil) on our arteries. I bought your beautiful recipe book recently and was alarmed that almost every recipe has oil as an ingredient (either for frying or for baking).
I’ve weaned myself off dairy (thank you for the cashew cheese on my homemade thin crust whole wheat veggie pizza!) and sweets, but one of the foods I’ve missed most is scrambled eggs – while your scramble doesn’t actually taste much like eggs, it tastes extremely good – I think I can happily stay away from the eggs, for now on! :) I will absolutely be making this again (and again, and again, and…)!!!
So it’s been a long six months of denial (and re-education)!! :(
#UNSCRAMBLE SNOOZE PLUS#
It’s the family “curse” – I thought the fact that I’ve been a vegetarian since 1978 would help me escape it, but I guess you can’t outrun genetics! My body apparently makes too much cholesterol, and consuming additional dietary saturated fats and cholesterol makes matters much worse… plus I have to avoid sugar and simple carbs to keep the triglycerides down. I haven’t been able to eat eggs since December (when my doctor warned me to cut them out of my diet – along with a bunch of other yummy things – when we discovered that my cholesterol numbers were too high). I just finished eating a very pleasant breakfast, featuring your Southwest Tofu Scramble… Very, VERY awesomely delicious! Thank you for teaching me how to make tofu scramble! :)
