If you're looking for a delicious, protein-packed, and plant-based alternative to scrambled eggs, tofu scramble is the way to go. It’s quick, easy, and fully customizable to suit your taste. Whether you’re new to plant-based eating or just want to switch things up, this guide will help you make the perfect tofu scramble.
Ingredients:
1 block firm or extra-firm tofu, drained and crumbled
1/2 teaspoon turmeric (for color and health benefits)
1/4 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak, for an eggy taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
1/2 cup chopped veggies (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach)
Impossible sausage *optional.
Instructions:
Prepare the Tofu:
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess water. Using a fork or your hands, crumble it into small, bite-sized pieces.
Sauté the Vegetables:
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add chopped veggies and sauté for 3-5 minutes until soft.
Add the Tofu & Spices:
Add the crumbled tofu to the pan and mix well.
Sprinkle in turmeric, black salt, black pepper.
Stir to evenly coat the tofu in the seasonings.
Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined and heated through.
Taste & Adjust:
Taste your tofu scramble and adjust the seasonings as needed. If you prefer a stronger eggy flavor, add a little more black salt.
Serve & Enjoy:
Serve hot with toast, sourdough pancakes, avocado, or as a filling for breakfast burritos!
