Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces firm tofu (225 g)
1/4 tsp salt, see notes
1/4 tsp turmeric powder, see notes
1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Chop the tofu and use a fork to crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add some oil to a frying pan and when it's hot, add the tofu and all the remaining ingredients (salt, turmeric powder, and ground black pepper). Stir until well combined and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Serve your tofu scramble immediately (I served my tofu scramble over some toasted bread and topped it with fresh parsley) with fresh fruit, vegan bacon, or vegan sausage as part of a vegan brunch. You can also serve it with vegan pancakes, vegan crepes, vegan banana bread, and coffee or juice.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also prepare the tofu before cooking and freeze it for up to 5 months. On the other hand, you can also freeze your tofu scrambled eggs after cooking. If you do, the tofu will get a chewier texture, although the eggy flavor won't change. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Add a little oil, water, or vegetable stock if needed.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 block (14oz.) tofu, soft, firm or extra-firm (not silken)
1 - 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon EACH garlic + onion powder, optional
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoon vegan cream, optional
1/4 teaspoon black salt (kala namak), optional
salt + pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • , no need to press as the water will dissipate as it cooks. I typically let the block of tofu rest on its side thin side to drain for a few minutes before using.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat, add the tofu while crumbling it between your fingers (above right). Alternatively, add the tofu block to the skillet and use the back of a fork to mash it a bit. You can also break it up with a wooden spoon. Do whatever is comfortable or makes sense for you. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Add the turmeric, nutritional yeast, optional garlic + onion powder, salt and pepper, cooking for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently. If adding veggies, this is the perfect time to add them.
  • Lastly, add the vegan cream and black salt, and cook another 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Serves 4
  • Serve right away with Breakfast Potatoes or Home Fries, and fresh fruits. Also great with a slice of toasted Artisan Bread!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅓ cup unsweetened plain almond milk
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
16 oz extra firm tofu, drained and patted dry
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 scallions, white and light green parts, diced
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup red bell pepper, diced
½ cup kale, chopped, stems removed
1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
8 veggie breakfast sausage patties, cooked according to package
1 La Brea Bakery® French Bread Loaf,, sliced and toasted

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, turmeric, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  • On a plate, use your hands or a potato masher to crumble the tofu into small, bite-size pieces resembling scrambled eggs.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and cook for 1-2 minutes, until starting to soften. Add the tofu, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and the black pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, until warmed through and some of the moisture has evaporated.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the almond milk mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until liquid starts to reduce. Add the red bell pepper and kale, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the scramble topped with avocado, with the veggie sausage patties and toasted slices of La Brea Bakery® French Bread Loaf alongside.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use firm or extra-firm tofu. This will give your scramble a more egg-like texture.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove excess water and make the tofu more firm.
  • Crumble the tofu into small pieces. This will help it to cook evenly.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Stir the tofu frequently. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Add your favorite seasonings. This could include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, paprika, or nutritional yeast.
  • Add vegetables or other ingredients. This could include chopped bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, or vegan cheese.
  • Serve immediately. Tofu scramble is best served warm.

Conclusion:

Vegan tofu scramble is a delicious, healthy, and versatile breakfast option. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying tofu scramble that is sure to please everyone at your table.
