Tofu Scramble (Black Salt)
A classic vegan Tofu Scramble recipe is a must-have in every plant-based home cook’s playbook. Ours cracks the code for the perfect scramble with a bare bones basic that is easy, cheap, and very customizable. It also happens to be fantastically delicious. The key is our signature, homemade eggy seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1 (16-oz) block firm tofu
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
For the tofu scramble seasoning (or use 2 Tbsp pre-made tofu scramble seasoning*):
- 2 tsp nutritional yeast
- 1 ½ tsp kala namak
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ¾ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Drain and press your tofu block.
- In a small bowl, combine the tofu scramble seasoning ingredients.
- Heat the olive oil to a non-stick skillet or pan on medium low heat.
- Carefully crumble the tofu into the pan. Use a rubber spatula to break it up further so it looks like scrambled eggs texture. A potato masher can also help with this!
- Sprinkle 1 Tbsp tofu scramble seasoning onto the tofu as it cooks. Stir to coat completely and cook, stirring often, for about 7-10 minutes.
- Then, sprinkle 1/2 Tbsp more scramble seasoning, stir to coat, and cook tofu another minute or two.
- Finally, remove from heat and taste the scramble. If you want more flavor to suit your personal taste, stir in another 1/2 Tbsp seasoning at the end of cooking before serving.
