About 15 years ago, Dr. Andrew Weil surprised Oprah audiences with a delicious and healthy tofu scramble. This recipe is adapted just a touch from his formula. And it is flexible. You can add herbs (like dried basil and oregano) or spices (like cumin and paprika), and even some nutritional yeast for flavor variations.
