I know I’ve said it before, but there is something about tofu that is so comforting. It has a pillowy nature that gives you the sensation of being snuggled up in a poofy bed. The blessing of tofu is it has all the calming, joy-inducing effects of say macaroni and cheese without all the fat and coma-inducing properties.

I tried to get my ‘lil one to eat it when I was making this recipe by calling it power pods, but she wasn’t buying it—crazy child! Maybe I should’ve called it power pillows, but I don’t think that would’ve worked either.
I love this scramble, I’ve made it a gazillion times. It is fast—not too much chopping—and incredibly satisfying. My colleague at CHOW developed the recipe for a story we did on DIY tofu. The original recipe called for soft tofu, but I like the denseness of firm.
