Tofu Scramble

I couldn't find a recipe for exactly what I want to make, but I'm using this one from food.com and La Dolce Vegan as a base.

Ingredients
1 small onion, diced (I plan to use Vidalia this time.)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb firm or extra firm tofu, crumbled
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
1 tablespoon tamari (I will, as always, substitute Bragg Liquid Aminos.)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 medium tomato, chopped
(I plan to add fresh chopped parsley and chunks of smoked apple sage vegan sausage.)

Directions

1. In a large saucepan on medium-high heat, saute the onions in oil until translucent.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together the crumbled tofu, garlic, nutritional yeast, tamari, mustard, turmeric, sage, basil, salt and pepper until well-mixed.

3. Add tofu mixture to onions and scramble until tofu is browned and all the liquid has evaporated.

4. Toss with tomatoes and serve immediately.

[Edited 2/25/13: This was really good.  Simran liked it too.  She likes most tofu.  I cooked the chunked vegan sausage with the onions and added chopped Italian parsley (the flat leaf stuff) along with the tomato at the end.  I did everything else according to recipe.]
