What kind of tofu should I use for this scramble?

This recipe calls for one 14-ounce package of firm tofu, which should be drained and pressed before crumbling into the skillet.

Can I add other vegetables to this scramble?

While the recipe specifically uses diced onion, minced garlic, and fresh baby spinach, you could experiment with other quick-cooking vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms, added with the onion and garlic.

How long does it take to cook this tofu scramble?

After sauteing the onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes, the crumbled tofu cooks for another 4-5 minutes, followed by 2 minutes for the spinach to wilt, totaling about 10-12 minutes of active cooking time.

How should I store leftover Cheesy Garlic and Onion Tofu Scramble?

Store any leftover scramble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
