Heat the safflower oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add the diced red pepper, sliced mushrooms, and minced onion to the pan. Sauté, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until the onions are soft and vegetables are tender.
-
Crumble the firm tofu into small, bite-sized chunks and add it to the pan with the vegetables.
-
Cook the tofu and vegetables, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes to allow the tofu to brown slightly.

Continue to sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce coats the tofu and the mixture is heated through.

Serve immediately.

Note
For a gluten-free version, ensure your miso and soy sauce are certified gluten-free, or substitute the soy sauce with tamari.
You can substitute safflower oil with avocado oil, canola oil, or another neutral high-heat oil.
Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers to customize the scramble to your preference.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
Pressing the tofu before crumbling it can help remove excess moisture, resulting in a firmer texture when cooked.
