Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
Green and Gold Tofu Scramble (it's really good even with the tofu!)
This is really kid friendly they'll love this.
8 ounces of firm tofu (packaged firm tofu last a very long time)
1/2 cup spinach, well packed
2 tbs dried tomatoes, not in oil tho, cut in pieces
2 tbs of dried mushrooms also cut up
1-2 of the small packets of soy-sauce (1-2 tbs)
1/2 tsp. of dried oregano
1/2 tsp of turmeric (this will give your tofu the yellow color of eggs)
1tbs of olive oil
(remembering these recipes are for backpacking)
At home: put spinach in a zip lock bag, in a second bag place the tomatoes, mushrooms, oregano and turmeric. Carry the olive oil in a screw top container. carry the soy sauce separatelly.
In camp: heat the oil in your pan, add the tofu, breaking it up with a fork. Cook until the tofu starts to turn golden brown. Add 1/2 cup of water, and the mushroom/tomato/spice-turmeric mixture. simmer long enough to rehydrate the vegetables (just a minute or two). Add the spinach and soy sauce just before serving.
These next meals may seem a bit daunting considering all the ingredients but if you follow this it is so good and very doable.
