If you’re in the market for a tasty vegan alternative to scrambled eggs, look no further. The turmeric gives the tofu a yellow hue, making it look just like eggs, and it’s just as protein-rich and satisfying as eggs are, too. Enjoy this dish in the morning with low-FODMAP toast or for lunch or dinner with a side of rice. Oh, and since ancho chile pepper hasn’t yet been tested for FODMAPs, only use it if you know you can tolerate it (the scramble will still taste amazing without the chile—trust me!).
