Tofu is such an incredible food with so much versatility, it is only right that we have a special day to appreciate this remarkable food each year. Since it absorbs whatever flavors it is cooked with, tofu can be used to create dishes that are savory or sweet, and with it’s soft texture it is a great base for making egg-free breakfasts.
Let’s celebrate World Tofu Day by giving some new recipes a try! Here are some easy to follow recipes to help get you started.
Tofu Scramble
Tofu scramble is a delicious dish that is reminiscent of scrambled eggs—without the cholesterol. The secret ingredient that makes this dish smell and taste like scrambled eggs is black salt. If you don’t like scrambled eggs you might enjoy tofu scramble without the black salt.
