Tofu Scramble

This Tofu Scramble recipe is a hearty, flavorful, and versatile plant-based alternative to scrambled eggs

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 (14-ounce) block firm or extra-firm tofu, drained and crumbled
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 1 cup spinach, packed
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tofu

Drain the tofu and crumble it into small, bite-sized pieces. You can use your hands or a fork to crumble the tofu. For a firmer texture, press the tofu for 15-30 minutes before crumbling it. This will remove excess water and allow the tofu to brown better. You can use a tofu press or wrap the tofu in paper towels and place a heavy object on top.

Step 2: Sauté Onion and Bell Pepper

In a large pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the pan.

Sauté the vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Add Tofu and Spices

Add the crumbled tofu, turmeric, cumin, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to the pan.

Stir well to combine all the ingredients and coat the tofu evenly with the spices.

Step 4: Cook Tofu Scramble

Cook the tofu scramble for another 5-7 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Step 5: Add Spinach

Add the spinach to the pan and cook until it’s just wilted, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 6: Serve

Serve the Tofu Scramble hot.
