Description

A quick and flavorful vegan tofu scramble with a rich, eggy texture, perfect for a satisfying plant-based breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

  • 1 block extra firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 2/3 cup oat milk (or plant milk of choice)
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black salt (optional but highly recommended for eggy taste)

Instructions

  1. Break the tofu into small chunks using your hands and add it to a medium skillet with olive oil and chopped garlic over medium heat.
  2. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tofu begins to release moisture and lightly simmers.
  3. Add oat milk and tahini, stirring to combine.
  4. Mix in nutritional yeast, turmeric, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black salt.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid evaporates and the tofu reaches an eggy consistency.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite sides such as toast, roasted potatoes, or wilted spinach.

Notes

  • Black salt adds a sulfur-like flavor that mimics eggs but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Use firm or extra firm tofu for best texture.
  • Add vegetables like spinach, peppers, or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
