Tofu scramble is a hearty, filling, easy to prepare dish. Once you get the hang of it, you can be creative, varying the spices and vegetables that you add to the tofu. Turmeric is a great spice and an essential ingredient in this recipe. Not only does it have lots of healthful properties but it gives the scramble a terrific yellow hue. Serve with Oven Baked Potato Fries, cut into small cubes instead of French Fry style.
