The Magic of This Recipe
This recipe is inspired by those wonderful summery childhood breakfasts. We're taking the essence of that and giving it a plant-based, healthy makeover. We're swapping the traditional eggs with hearty tofu, and loading it up with a flavour explosion. Don’t worry, no flavor is sacrificed; we’re even bringing that ‘eggy’ vibe with a clever secret ingredient: Kala Namak (black salt).
Key Ingredients – and Why They’re Awesome
- Olive Oil: The base for our garlicky goodness.
- Garlic: Adds that amazing aromatic flavour, if you are not a fan substitute with scallions for a milder taste.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Sweet bursts of flavor and juiciness (but you can skip if you are not a tomato lover).
- Firm Silken Tofu: The star of the show! Choose the right tofu to get that perfect texture.
- Kala Namak (Black Salt): The magic ingredient that gives our scramble its subtle eggy flavor.
- Soy Sauce (or Tamari): Umami boost!
- Nutritional Yeast: A touch of cheesy goodness and extra umami.
- Turmeric: A dash for colour and a boost of goodness.
How To Make The Most Amazing Vegan Tofu Scramble
- Heat up the olive oil in a pan. Gently cook the garlic (or scallions) until fragrant.
- If using tomatoes, place them cut-side down and cook until softened, then remove and set aside.
- Add your drained and crumbled tofu to the pan. Cook until the excess water evaporates.
- Season with soy sauce, kala namak, nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
- Return the tomatoes to the pan and heat everything through, then serve this wonderful creation.
Serving Suggestions
This Tofu Scramble is delicious on its own, but why stop there?
- Serve it with some toasted wholemeal bread or gluten-free alternative.
- Add a handful of dark, leafy greens like spinach or rocket.
- Top it off with slices of creamy avocado.
