Tofu Scramble

Portions: 1

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Tofu scramble is a warm and flavourful plant-based meal that provides protein and can be easily customized with your favourite vegetables and seasonings.

Ingredients:

• 150 grams (100 + 50) – Medium, firm, or extra firm* tofu

• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

• 1 tsp olive oil (for pan)

• ¼ tsp garlic powder

• A few pinches of turmeric for color

• Black pepper

• Pinch kala namak (black salt for eggy taste – or just use regular salt)

• 1-2 tbsp water

Instructions:

1. Spray the pan with oil on medium heat.

2. In a bowl, crumble about 2/3 of the tofu (100 grams) with your hands or a fork.

3. In another bowl, add the remaining 1/3 of the tofu (50 grams), water, and spices, then mash with a fork. You could also use a small chopper for this step.

4. Add both mixtures to the pan and let them sit for a minute or two before you stir.

5. Stir lightly, as if making scrambled eggs.

6. Cook for about 5 minutes or until you have the desired eggy texture.

Note: Medium firm is preferred for a softer scramble, but many people use firm or extra firm for the structure, aesthetics, and a bit more texture.

Optional additions:

• Veggie option: Sauté veggies after the oil and before the tofu, or add raw veggies after.

• Elevate: Sprinkle with black pepper, chilis, chives, or microgreens.

Storage:

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Enjoy on toast or a wrap the next day.
