Scale

Tofu Scramble Ingredients

  • 1 block firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter (or 1 tablespoon vegetable broth for an oil-free version)
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black salt (kala namak)

Instructions

  1. Drain and Prep Tofu: Wrap the firm tofu block in a clean, dry tea towel and let it sit for 5 minutes to remove excess moisture. This step helps achieve a better texture for your scramble.
  2. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine nutritional yeast, onion flakes, garlic powder, turmeric, paprika, and black salt. Stir well to create the spice blend.
  3. Heat Pan and Add Butter: Place a medium-hot pan on the stove and add the vegan butter. Allow it to melt completely over medium heat.
  4. Crush and Add Tofu: Using your hands, crumble the drained tofu directly into the pan. Use a wooden spoon to break apart any larger chunks, creating a texture similar to scrambled eggs.
  5. Cook Tofu: Stir and cook the tofu for several minutes to release additional moisture. This step helps improve the texture and allows the tofu to absorb flavors better.
  6. Add Spices: Sprinkle the spice mixture over the tofu and stir thoroughly to evenly coat the tofu pieces.
  7. Final Cooking: Continue cooking on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. For a drier texture, cook it a few more minutes until the moisture evaporates to your liking.

Notes

  • Pressing the tofu properly ensures better texture and less sogginess.
  • Black salt provides the signature eggy flavor, but adjust according to taste if you prefer less saltiness.
  • For an oil-free version, replace vegan butter with vegetable broth or water during cooking.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
