Tofu Scramble

Flavourful scrambled protein, great for breakfast dishes.

Ingredients

  • TOFU

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or vegan butter

  • 1/2 block tofu

  • SAUCY SAUCE

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp kala namak

  • 1/8 tsp paprika

  • 1/8 tsp turmeric

  • 1/8 tsp chili flakes (or less if you really don’t like spice)

  • 1 tbsp nooch

  • 2 tsp olive oil

  • 1/4 cup plant milk

  • a few twists of ground black pepper

  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp dijon mustard (optional)

  • GREENS

  • chopped green onion

  • chopped greens

Method

  • Heat the olive oil or vegan butter in a pan over medium heat, to get it melted and ready to coat the tofu.
  • Squeeze the tofu a little to remove some water. Crumble the tofu into a small bowl, in little chunks. Chuck it in the pan with the heated olive oil, and toss to coat. Stir occasionally to get the tofu evenly golden while you make the saucy sauce.
  • While the tofu dries out and browns a bit, make the sauce. Sift together all the dry spices. Then add the olive oil in, and mix to combine. Then gradually add the plant milk, a little at a time to keep the whole thing from separating too much. Add in the optional acids (highly recommended, especially the lemon juice, although to be honest I’m usually too lazy to add it!)
  • Set the saucy sauce aside, and focus on the tofu. You want to get it pretty dried out and nicely golden. This can take a little bit! If you need to kill some time, clean up any mess you’ve made so far while you wait. If you’re adding in greens, this is a great time to chop em up and put em in nice little bowls so assembly is super easy.
  • Once the tofu looks nice and dry, Add the blended part into the pan. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes. It’ll soak up a lot of the liquid - if you want, you can add more plant milk to keep things moist. Cook longer for a drier texture, or take it off the heat earlier for a runnier texture.
  • Serve and enjoy!
