scrambled tofu: http://www.theppk.com/recipes/dbrecipes/...
if you don't have the nutritional yeast, leave it out and don't add any extra water. i usually make scrambled tofu with only the garlic and onions because that's usually what i have around. this dish will even make a believer out of tofu haters.

Tofu with mushrooms.
Saute mushrooms in a little oil and butter.
Cut block of tofu down the middle, lengthwise .
Cut each section into 1'2" thick pieces. After the mushrooms are fried some remove from the pan/skillet/grill ( I used to have a big, electric frying pan that was good fit for this). Put tofu slabs into the pan sprinkle on some soy sauce and some curry powder, fry at a bit more than medium head until golden brown on both sides.
Add mushrooms to the tofu and let mingle together.
Each batch can be removed and put into a warm oven as the next batches get done. One block of tofu per 4 people. Perhaps some steamed baby carrots and broccolli flowerettes on the side. Maybe sprinkle with some good romano and parmas (?) cheeses (Good Italian restaurants may just give you a couple small containers of these cheeses. that is where I always found the best and fresh)
cover the tofu if it goes in the oven. Just before serving you might put it under the broiler for a short time with the door ajar. Good luck with whatever you do.
