Ingredients

  • 1 tofu block (9oz//280g) extra firm with the water
  • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder or granules
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic granules
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ cup almond milk
  • ½ teaspoon Kala Namak black salt or more if you want a stronger taste in egg
  • black pepper and chopped chives to garnish

Instructions

  • Place the tofu with the water from the packaging in a large bowl and use your hands to break the tofu into small pieces (can use a masher/fork but hands work best).
  • On heat medium, grab a non stick frying pan or skillet then add the tofu and shake the pan a few times to distribute the heat.
  • Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic and onion granules.
  • Use a spatula to evenly fold in the turmeric so the tofu is completely yellow.
  • Pour in the almond milk and reduce to a medium/low simmer for roughly 5-6 minutes, shake the pan a few times during the given time.
  • Once the tofu scramble has cooked fold in your black salt
  • Garnish with black pepper and chives before serving

Notes

  • It's not essential to press out the excess liquid from the tofu once it is removed from the packaging. Keep it as you will need this when cooking the scramble.
  • Feel free to add additional vegetables i.e bell pepers, kale, spinach, asparagus, okra, avocadoes to your scramble
  • Use a non stick pan/skillet this will decrease the chances of any sticking especially as this is an oil free recipe
  • Add additional water to the pan in the initial stages once the tofu is added if needed.
  • Use a neutral tasting milk like Almond Milk to create moisture for the "eggs"
  • Don't keep stiring the tofu, shake the pan instead this stops the tofu from breaking down even further.
