Soy Chorizo Tofu Scramble

Vegan Soy Chorizo Tofu Scramble



Ingredients
 • 8 oz extra-firm/firm tofu (dried & crumbled)
 • 8 oz soy chorizo (from Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods)
 • 1/4 red onion (thinly sliced)
 • 1/2 bell pepper (thinly sliced)
 • 2 cups spinach (loosely chopped)
 • 3 mushrooms (diced)
 • 2 Tbsp olive oil

 Seasoning mixture
 • 1/2 tsp sea salt
 • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
 • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
 • 1/4 tsp chili powder
 • 1/4 tsp turmeric
 • Water (to thin)

Topping
 • Your choice of salsa!

Instructions

  1.  Pat tofu dry and wrap in a few clean dry towels and place a cast-iron pan (or something heavy) on top, for 15-30 mins. 
  2. Prepare seasoning mix - add dry spices to small bowl and add just enough water to make a pourable sauce. Set aside. 
  3. Warm a large skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once oil is hot, add red onion and bell pepper with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until softened - about 5 minutes. 
  4. Unwrap soy chorizo and crumble into pan. Mix with the veggies until hot - about 5 mins.
  5. In the meantime, unwrap tofu and use a fork to crumble into small pieces. 
  6. Use spatula to move veggies to one side of pan and add crumbled tofu. Sauté ~2 mins, then pour seasoning mainly over the tofu with some over the veggies. Stir immediately to distribute sauce. Cook for about 5-7 mins until tofu is slightly browned. 
  7. Add spinach and cook for ~2 more mins or until soft. 8. Serve on corn tortillas and top with a salsa of your choice (my fave is TJs Tomatillo; Roasted Yellow Chili salsa).

Motivational Medicine

           Hello! Welcome to my blog! My name is Sarah and I am a physician assistant (PA) student. If you don't know what a PA is, there are many resources that adequately explain the profession. I'll probably do a post about it some other time...BUT BASICALLY, I'm studying medicine. My program is 28 months long. The first half is an all-classroom experience and the second half consists of clinicals where I rotate between different specialties and get to care for patients. 2019 was all-classroom training for me. I was in class 8 hours a day - same classroom, same time, same seat, same people. It’s enough to drive anyone insane. Over the course of that year, I had a million breakdowns from constant stress and I began comparing myself to others (even though I was doing fine). Shortly after, I failed an exam by 1 question (this actually happened twice but the first time the exam was curved so I experienced the emotional trauma of failing before I figured...

Resources & Tips for Didactics

So you just started PA grad school and you hit the ground running. In PA school you jump right in and there is no time wasted. After all, it's basically medical school squished into half the time. You feel like you haven't developed a system to study, but don't worry this is normal in the beginning. The more important question becomes, How do I study for didactic?! I get this question all the time, so I decided to write a post I can refer people to instead of writing the same monologue of tips for success each and every time. I truly want to help as many people as possible so when people ask me I just forward them this post. Step 1 Check out the PANCE Content Blueprint-NCCPA here It's a list of the important medical conditions organized by organ system. The list isn't all-inclusive of what will be on your exam, but it will have all the high-yield (and most of the low-yield) diseases and disorders. It's important to study what you learn in cla...

PA School Interview Tips!

These are some interview points I shared with my best friend after she received PA school interviews: Practice your responses out loud . Practice with a friend or by yourself. I used to talk to myself by practicing in the car and in front of the mirror. It felt crazy at times, but it helped me develop my flow and transitions. Research interview formats/schedules. The main interview can be structured as a group interview, MMI (multiple mini interviews), or traditional one-on-one. There are often extra activities in addition to the interview, like a writing component or group activity. Review common interview questions and have your answers prepped, like: Your strengths and weaknesses Why do you want to be a PA and how would you describe the role? Ethical questions Tell me about a time… Have stories ready to tell. Why this school/city/town? For more interview questions check out the book "How to Ace th...
