Oil Free Tofu Scramble

I used to eat Amy's Organic Foods Tofu Scramble with hash brown potatoes and love it so much, but it has added oil. My version tastes just as good without the added oil and I add some fresh cilantro and sliced jalapenos to brighten it up. With a side of my oil free home fried potatoes, this tofu scramble makes me smile.
