Flavorful Silken Tofu Scramble
Meet your new go-to savory breakfast idea! This flavorful silken tofu scramble has a perfect consistency and tastes so much like eggs you won’t believe it’s vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 white onion finely chopped
- 2 ½ cups button mushrooms 175 g, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ cups silken tofu 375 g
- ½ teaspoon black salt kala namak
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Toppings (optional)
- 3 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons chives chopped
Instructions
- Place a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a splash of water or oil and sautée for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the chopped mushrooms, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir to combine and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms turn golden, add the silken tofu in small-ish chunks to the pan. Break it down gently with a wooden spoon or spatula and mix it with the rest of the ingredients.
- Add all of the spices: black salt, turmeric, smoked paprika, and nutritional yeast. Stir until well combined, then increase the heat to high.
- Cook until the silken tofu doesn’t release any more water and a light golden brown “skin” forms.
- Remove from the heat and serve on freshly toasted bread, topped with fresh herbs. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can leave out smoked paprika and nutritional yeast for a more straightforward flavor.
- The black salt is necessary for the eggy flavor; however if you cannot get your hands on it, use more regular salt instead.
