There’s something truly special about starting your day with a hearty and healthful breakfast, especially when it’s as delicious as this vegan tofu scramble. Perfect for anyone looking to spice up their morning routine with a plant-based twist, this recipe has become a staple in my kitchen. I remember the first time I tried tofu scramble at a local vegan brunch spot; I was blown away by its rich flavors and satisfying texture. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to perfect my own version.
- 1 block of firm tofu, drained and crumbled
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor
- 1/2 tsp turmeric for color and health benefits
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup of fresh spinach
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 onion, diced
- Optional: a pinch of black salt (kala namak) for an eggy flavor
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water. Crumble it into bite-sized pieces or mash it with a fork for a more traditional scrambled egg texture.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté until they become soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, until the tofu is heated through and begins to get a slightly golden color. For an extra eggy flavor, sprinkle a pinch of black salt if desired.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and then remove from heat.
