Scrambled Tofu

There was a time in my life that at the first thought of tofu I would avoid it completely. I didn't realize what it was and that there were different textures to it. My first experience was eating a dish someone had prepared and there was nothing else to eat. It was fried tofu and not much flavor and seasoning, so basically, it made me think I was eating a sponge. I vowed I would never touch the stuff again. Funny, how the taste buds change as you grow up. I find now that it is quite tasty with the right preparation. My first experience with scrambled tofu was at my mother in laws home. She prepared it for breakfast one morning and it looked so weird that I didn't want to try it, but being that it was early on in my marriage, I didn't want to offend my mother in law. So, I took just a enough that I could spoon in my mouth and eat super fast. To my amazement, it tasted pretty good. I ended up taking a lot more and requested for the recipe.

Now that I am vegan, I have included tofu as a regular addition into my crazy dietary plan. This morning was the first time since asking for that recipe that I actually made it. Don't get me wrong, I have eaten it so many time after the first time, but have never gotten the urge to make it myself. I was afraid that I would ruin it and I would hate it for the rest of my life. Nope, it turned out just as it was supposed to and I loved it as usual. I believe this will be made more often in my house. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
