A Better Tofu Scrambler

The simple boxed tofu scrambler becomes something a lot more interesting by adding some tasty ingerdients. Start by sauteeing red onion and garlic, once those are cooked add sliced mushrooms (I tried portobello and think any of the browner ones would be best) - all before adding the tofu scrambler (tofu plus the seasoning - pre mix it in a bowl and add a little water if its a firm tofu to help the seasoning get well distributed - I mash it with a fork so it isn't cubed, but not to make it too slushy either) - and then when the seasoning is well distributed through the tofu and other ingredients in the sautee pan, add in chopped fresh spinach and cook until spinach is wilted down - stirring to get it evenly through out the dish. This combination of flavors makes it wonderful! 1 block of tofu and one seasoning packet serves two. Yum! I usually have brown rice with this too. Even better if served with baked country style potato wedges and organic ketchup on the side.
