1-2-3 Easy Tofu Scramble

Sincere salutation to one and all!  May the blue birds of happiness egest deep feelings of good upon everyone today!

Tiffany and I had a revelation on Monday morning.  Both of us have dined and eaten scrambled tofu dishes at our local vegan & vegetarian restaurants.  But, we hadn't a clue how they managed to emulate the real thing (scrambled eggs) so well.  Personally, I just assumed that it was some sort of tofu blending, dehydration, and reconstitution process involved which gave it that dead-on texture, taste and appearance.

However, my hypothesis was proven erroneous this morning.  Tiffany and I made a spectacular tofu scramble breakfast this morning that would fool even the most veteran scrambled egg aficionado.  And... The best thing?  It was truly as easy as one-two-three!
