Favorite Tofu Scramble

My Favorite Tofu Scramble is packed with nutrients and flavor. It’s super QUICK and super DELICIOUS!

I love tofu scrambles, they are so versatile and such an easy breakfast, lunch or dinner option. This is my go-to recipe, I truly love the texture and flavor combo and I hope you love it too! It’s got juicy veggies, tasty herbs, healing spices, plant-based protein, good-for-the-gut fiber and a little bit of heat (but you can leave it out if you are not into spicy food).

It’s made with SIMPLE, WHOLESOME INGREDIENTS. The best kind of meal. I like to serve it with avocado toasts on the side, but it’s also delicious with oven-baked potatoes, sautéed mushrooms or any other veggie of choice.

The Recipe serves 1, so double it if you’ve got company!

Ingredients

  

• 2 tsp olive oil
• ⅓ cup finely chopped onion
• 1 big garlic clove
• ¼ cup finely chopped red pepper
• 4 oz firm tofu - 125 grams
• ¼ tsp chili flakes
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• ¼ tsp turmeric
• ¼ tsp Kala namak - also called black salt*
• 1 tsp nutritional yeast
• 1 - 2 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk, optional
• ⅓ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• ¼ cup peas
• ¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tsp sriracha, omit if you don't like spicy food
• Salt and pepper to taste

TO SERVE

• 2 slices of rye or GF bread - toasted if preferred
• ½ avocado, chopped or mashed with a fork

Instructions

 

• Use a tofu press or simply wrap the tofu in a clean towel and place something heavy (like a couple of books) on top to press out excess water. After 5-10 minutes, crumble with your hands or mash it with a fork.
• Heat olive oil over medium heat.
• Add onions and sauté for about 3 minutes.
• Add garlic and red pepper and cook for 3 minutes.
• Add tofu, spices, Kala namak and nutritional yeast and cook for another 3 minutes; always stirring to keep the spices from burning. If it starts to stick to the bottom add 1 or 2 Tbps of unsweetened almond milk. If not, skip it.
• Stir in the tomatoes and peas. Cook for 2 more minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften.
• Turn off the heat and add the parsley and sriracha. Stir to combine.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*Adds an eggy taste. Even if you are not a fan of eggs (I’m not), try not to skip it. It’s so flavorful and delicious when combined with all the other spices.
