**Prep Vegetables and Tofu:** Chop the onion, bell pepper, and spinach. Crumble the tofu by hand or with a fork.

**Cook Vegetables:** Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing until slightly soft, about 5 minutes.

**Add Tofu:** Introduce the crumbled tofu to the pan, mixing well. Sprinkle in the turmeric if using, for color, and stir until evenly distributed.
-
**Season:** Drizzle soy sauce over the mixture, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let cook for another 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors meld.
-
**Finish with Spinach:** Add the chopped spinach, stirring until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
-
**Serve:** Transfer to a plate and enjoy warm.
Note
- Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand. Bell peppers, spinach, and mushrooms make great additions.
- Traditional Japanese seasonings like soy sauce and mirin can add a depth of flavor, but adjust according to your taste preferences.
- Firm or extra-firm tofu is recommended for a texture closest to scrambled eggs.
