Tofu Scramble (GF)

A good gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free breakfast idea.

1 tbsp olive oil

1 block of tofu

1 tsp black salt

1/4 tsp turmeric

Place the block of tofu right in the pan, and mash with a potato masher or fork. (You DO NOT need to first press the tofu, as the water will evaporate. Just drain the liquid from the package first.)
