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! **If you try this colorful meal, let us know what you think.

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. ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2021/04/22/favorite-tofu-scramble/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2021%2F04%2F22%2Ffavorite-tofu-scramble%2F) to post a comment.
