- Next, heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, when hot release the onions & saute until slightly translucent.
- Next add all the veggies except the cilantro & scallions. Saute for 2-3 mins & then add the tofu seasoning mix (turmeric,nutritional yeast, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin powder, salt) and mix well.
- Now, add the cilantro & the scallions and mix very well. It's time to add the scrambled tofu.
- Mix well until the tofu is well coated with the seasoning & the veggies. Saute for 2-3 mins.
- Switch off the flame & squeeze lemon juice. Garnish with more cilantro & scallion and serve hot. Enjoy!
