- 2 (300-gram) firm tofu (tokwa) rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 smalls onion thinly sliced
- black pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 4 tomatoes chopped
- chopped 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (luyang dilaw)

Instructions
- Break up the tofu with your hands until chunks are formed. Place in a kitchen towel and press out as much moisture as you can.

- Add tofu chunks, turmeric, and a few pinches of black salt. Sauté until heated through and the tofu is tinged with yellow, about 7 to 10 minutes. If the pan looks dry, add a splash of water.
- Stir in basil or cilantro and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
- Make the fries: Place sweet potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover. Place the lid on the pot and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender. Drain well.
- Warm oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, sear sweet potatoes on each side until lightly browned and crisp, about 7 to 10 minutes total.
- Transfer to a dish and immediately season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Serve tofu scramble with fries on the side.
