Tofu Scramble
Last Updated on: 16th March 2025, 01:03 pm
Craving a scrambled egg breakfast but looking for a plant-based alternative? Try a tofu scramble! This delicious dish is made by crumbling tofu and sautéing it with turmeric, black salt (to mimic that eggy flavor), and a mix of colorful veggies like peppers, onions, and spinach. The result is a hearty, savory meal that rivals the classic scrambled eggs while being vegan-friendly and nutritious.
Tofu is rich in protein, making it a perfect base for a satisfying breakfast. The addition of turmeric gives the scramble its vibrant color and a subtle earthy flavor, while black salt enhances the egg-like taste. Peppers, onions, and spinach add vitamins and fiber, making this scramble a balanced meal that keeps you full and energized.
For extra flavor, sprinkle in some nutritional yeast for a cheesy, umami kick that’ll elevate your tofu scramble to the next level.
Tip: If you want to switch things up, try adding mushrooms, kale, or your favorite veggies to personalize your tofu scramble.
