Step Three: Shiitake & Tofu Scramble
Clean Shiitake mushrooms with damp cloth, then remove stems. Then thinly slice mushrooms and red onion and set aside. Cube tofu into 1-inch cubes then place in large bowl. Using hands or potato masher break apart tofu into small pieces (leave some larger pieces for texture.)
Coat a wok or large sauté pan with canola oil then heat on med/high heat. Add mushrooms and red onion and sauté 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add to the wok tofu, cayenne and turmeric and continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat set aside

Drizzle maple syrup over the potatoes. Slice and serve with a steaming cup of coffee or your favorite breakfast beverage.
Enjoy!
