Springtime Tofu Scramble

This vegan springtime tofu scramble is a jazzed up play on the classic plant-powered scramble. Mushrooms, yellow squash, leeks, and spinach are sautéed together in a skillet with coconut oil. Firm tofu is then crumbled into the pan of cooked veggies to create a texture that is nearly identical to scrambled eggs, and turmeric is sprinkled over to add a nutritional kick and a colorful yellow hue. But the ingredient that takes this tofu scramble to flavorful new heights is a pinch of truffle salt. It packs an eggy punch that brings out the best in these wannabe eggs
