Instructions:

1. Season the Tofu:

2. Cook the Vegetables:

4. Combine and Cook the Kale:

5. Season and Serve:

- Serve hot, garnished with your choice of fresh herbs or avocado slices if desired.

Tips:

- Press the tofu to remove excess moisture before cooking to achieve a better texture.

- Feel free to add other vegetables like tomatoes, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the tofu scramble from sticking.

- Adjust the spices according to your taste preferences; you can add more chili powder if you like it spicier.

- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor and color.
