Ingredients For Tofu Scramble
- Extra Firm Tofu – mimics egg in this recipe and adds so much protein.
- White onion – is more tender than yellow onion and stands out well in taste.
- Mushrooms – I use baby portabella (portobello) for a dish with more bite.
- Nutritional Yeast – has a wonderful cheesy type of flavor.
- Turmeric – one of the best spices out there and adds flavor, health benefits and a golden color.
- Garlic powder – goes a long way in the flavor department with just a little bit.
- Black salt (kala namak) – or regular salt.
- Pepper – is a little spicy so don’t add a lot.
How To Make This Delicious Tofu Scramble
- Press the tofu to let the extra liquid drain out for at least 15 minutes. Break up into small chunks and set aside.
- While the tofu is being pressed heat the water in a large skillet to medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and begin to sauté for about 5 minutes and then add the diced onion. Sauté for 10 minutes.
- Push the mushrooms and onions aside in the skillet and add the tofu to the pan and then add the nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Start to stir and mash and get everything hot and all mixed together and the tofu evenly coated with the turmeric as you cook.
- Leave the tofu a little chunky so that it mimics scrambled eggs.
- It takes about 5 minutes to cook through.
