The Best Tofu Scramble
This simple tofu scramble is an eggless vegan alternative packed with protein. It has only 6 ingredients and is great for breakfast or brunch. Enjoy it as-is or add any vegetable for a customized taste.
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
For the Tofu
- 1 (14-ounce) block of extra-firm tofu or super-firm tofu
- 1 Tablespoon refined coconut oil or neutral oil of choice
- optional: 2 Tablespoons non-dairy milk
Seasonings
- 2 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or more to taste (see note #1 for an eggy flavor)
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Press the tofu to remove as much water as possible.
- Crumble the tofu with your hands, or break it up with a fork or potato masher, and add it to your skillet.
- Mix in the seasonings until the crumble is well coated, then add the oil.
- Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes for a softer texture, or 10-15 minutes for a deeper brown and firmer scramble.
- Optional: Add the non-dairy milk if it needs a bit more moisture.
Notes
- Salt: To create an eggy flavor, substitute regular salt with kala namak (black salt). Stir it in at the very end of cooking so the flavor stays strong.
- Variations: Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, or anything else you have on hand.
Top with vegan cheese, avocado, chopped fresh herbs, or a drizzle of hot sauce for a finishing touch. (See Customize Your Scramble in the post for more ideas.)
