There are a lot of different options for breakfast these days. One of our favorite go to dishes is fast, easy and only dirties one pan!
First up you’re going to need some tofu. If this your first time cooking with tofu don’t be nervous. This dish is really very simple and fun to make. The tofu gets rinsed off, patted dry, and crumbled, crumbled tofu looks a lot like scrambled egg whites. There are a lot of different brands and different styles of tofu.
