Tofu Scramble

This easy tofu scramble recipe is a delicious vegan breakfast! It has a savory, eggy flavor and soft, creamy texture. Ready in 15 minutes!

breakfast / vegan

This tofu scramble is one of my favorite vegan breakfast recipes, if not one of my favorite breakfasts, period. I think it’s just as delicious as classic scrambled eggs. It’s soft and creamy, and it has a rich, eggy flavor thanks to nutritional yeast and a few key spices. Bonus: it’s also high in protein! I love having it in my rotation for mornings when I’m in the mood for a savory breakfast that doesn’t involve eggs. It’s easy to make in one pan, so you can throw it together on a weekday, but with the right fixings, it’s totally weekend-worthy too.…

These homemade flour tortillas are soft, pliable, and delicious. They’re like an entirely different food from store-bought tortillas—they’re chewier, more rustic, and far more flavorful. Try one while it’s warm from the stove. You won’t believe how good it is! I started making homemade flour tortillas years ago, back when I first moved to Austin, Texas. I imagined that it would be a major cooking project that would require special ingredients and hours in the kitchen. But to my surprise, it turned out to be incredibly simple. So simple, in fact, that I’ve made flour tortillas many, many times since. I’m sharing…

Stir Fry Sauce

This stir fry sauce recipe is sweet, savory, and super easy to make. Use it to whip up a quick, flavorful stir fry with whatever you have in your fridge!

A good stir fry sauce is the secret to a delicious stir fry. I should know, because I made my fair share of disappointing stir fries when I was learning how to cook. Nine times out of ten, when one fell flat, it was because the sauce was too bland, too salty, or too watery. But over the years, I’ve developed a homemade stir fry sauce I love. It’s nicely balanced, with a sweet, savory, and tangy flavor. It has a perfect texture too. A little cornstarch helps it thicken in the pan, creating a glossy coating for any combination of…
