Simple Tofu Scramble

Simple tofu scramble, a vegan alternative to scrambled eggs. It’s so easy to make, high in protein and only requires 4 ingredients!

The food I missed the most after going vegan were eggs, but this simple tofu scramble helped me a lot and satisfied my cravings. We make it all the time because is a basic recipe, is ready in less than 15 minutes and only requires 4 ingredients: tofu, turmeric powder, salt and ground black pepper.

Besides, you can add any ingredient you want as you would do with an egg scramble, like seasonal veggies or even some meat alternatives, like vegan sausage or shrimp. We don’t consume processed foods on a daily basis, but they can be really helpful if you’re new to this lifestyle or if you miss the taste of some products and only eat them once in a while.

There are other ways to make a vegan scramble, for example, using chickpea flour or canned or cooked chickpeas, but this recipe is my go to because of its simplicity, and if you add some Kala Namak salt, it tastes like scrambled eggs, I promise. We’ve fooled so many non-vegans with this scramble. In addition, it’s healthier, lower in fat and cholesterol-free, so it’s a win-win!

Ingredients

• 8 ounces firm tofu (225 g)
• 1/4 tsp salt, see notes
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, see notes
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Chop the tofu and use a fork to crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
2. Add some water or oil to a frying pan and when it’s hot, add the tofu and the rest of the ingredients. Stir until well combined and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
3. We served our tofu scramble over some toasted bread and topped it with fresh parsley.
4. Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

Notes

• Any type of salt is okay, but I prefer to use Kala Namak salt because it tastes like real eggs.
• If you’re not a turmeric lover or you’re not used to its flavor, add only 1/8 tsp of turmeric powder, then try the scramble and add more if needed.
• Add your favorite spices, veggies or ingredients.
