I think it's great that you're not afraid to try new foods on your family.We've been trying to incorporate more soy products in our meals lately, and even my "meat and potatoes" husband likes veggie burgers now.
This is my version of a dish from a now defunct "hippie" restaurant here in town. My daughter and I would eat it all the time, if the ingredients were available.
TOFU SCRAMBLE
1 tub firm tofu, drained 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. fresh grated ginger (optional) 1/2 cup each, sliced: onions, carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms 1/2 cup each, cut up: broccoli, cauliflower 2 eggs 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese peanut or canola oil
Cut tofu into 1/2 inch cubes and place in a bowl. Mix soy sauce, garlic powder and ginger together, pour over tofu. Allow to marinate at least 30 minutes, but a couple of hours is better. Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in an oven-proof skillet, add onions and carrots and saute about 5 minutes. Add remaining vegetables and stir-fry for about 5 more minutes. Pour marinade from tofu over the vegetables in the skillet, lower heat, cover and cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside.
Preheat broiler. In a non-stick skillet, heat another 1-2 tablespoons of oil and add marinated, drained tofu. Be careful as it will splatter. Cook, turning occasionally, until cubes are nicely browned. Add tofu to vegetables and gently mix them together.
Beat eggs in a small bowl and pour over tofu/vegs in skillet. Sprinkle cheese on top, and place under broiler until lightly browned.
NOTES: Of course, the vegetables can vary according to your taste and whatever you have on hand. The eggs and cheese can be left out completely, and the tofu/vegs served alone, or over rice. You'll notice there's no salt in this recipe, I've found the soy sauce provides enough for my taste, but others may want to add salt and/or other seasonings. Enjoy!
