Morning Tofu Scramble

So today I realized that my random purchase of a rectangle of firm tofu was going to expire. I'm going camping this weekend, and after purchasing beef burgers and turkey burgers and hot dogs and bacon, I realized that tofu just wasn't going to cut it in the wild. So what to do with it at 6:30 in the morning, I wondered.

Well... breakfast scramble!

First, I tried to get as much water out of the tofu as possible at 6:30 in the morning when you can't really see and bright lights hurt. After various attempts with paper towels, I called it a day. I then basically chopped up a yellow onion and it in olive oil, and then added thin strips of tofu after about ten minutes. I threw in some cumin, tumeric, and chili powder for flavor, and let everything turn a bright yellow. Once the tofu started to brown, I sliced it up into thinner pieces with a fork. Then I decided to go all Sesame Street on this meal, and chopped up a yellow bell pepper to add to the mix. Last, I threw in some egg whites, Jarlsberg cheese, and my only non-yellow ingredient: medium spicy salsa for an added "Spanish omelette" kick.

And you know what? It's actually delicious.
