At the beginning of the year, I sought change and routine and wellness and perhaps a little meaning in the form of a personal challenge: I would cook three meals a day every day for one month.
In order to succeed, I would need to always have tofu on hand. Quick-cooking and adaptable, tofu began creeping its way into my breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
Firm tofu is perhaps the most versatile of the packaged blocks available at the grocery store. It's amenable to a number of techniques and cooking methods, and it excels at absorbing marinades and sauces.
Ali Slagle's 20-minute breakfast tofu scramble features textures and flavors reminiscent of breakfast sausage, great in tortillas with eggs or vegetables during the week.
