Ingredients

Tofu Scramble

  • 1 14-16 oz extra firm tofu (This will be 1 block, the size may very between brands.)
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 turmeric powder (optional ingredients for color)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 3/4 tsp black salt (Kala Namak) (Replace with regular salt if your not using this ingredients)
  • 2-3 tbsp water

Optional Vegetables

  • 1/2 onion, chopped.
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped. (Use whatever color you like.)
  • 4-6 mushrooms, sliced or quartered.
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced.

Instructions

  • Chop and mince any vegetables and garlic you'd like to add to the scramble.
  • In a small bowl, mix water with the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and turmeric powder until you have a paste or sauce. If you're using regular salt you can mix it in now, but if you use black salt you'll want to wait till the end to add this as the flavor will cook-off. 
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Heat your oil and then add your chopped vegetables. Sauté the vegetables for around 8 minutes and then add your minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, careful not to burn the garlic. 
  • Next, turn your heat down to a medium-low to medium heat and crumble your tofu into the skillet. You can do this with your hands or by breaking the block with a spatula in the skillet. 
  • Then stir in your spice mixture and cook for another 5-6 minutes or until the tofu is heated through properly. Stir occasionally so that your tofu doesn't stick to the pan. 
  • Serve with toast, potatoes, fruit, in a breakfast burrito, or even alone and enjoy!
