Delicious Vegan Tofu Scramble Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 block firm tofu (pressed and crumbled)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric (for color and flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (optional for cheesy flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon black salt (adds an egg-like flavor)
  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen, chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for seasoning)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess water, then crumble it into a bowl.

    Using firm tofu helps achieve a better texture.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic; sauté until translucent.

    Don’t rush this step; well-cooked onions enhance the flavor.
  3. Add Bell Peppers

    Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

    Feel free to use any color of bell pepper for variety.
  4. Mix in the Tofu

    Add crumbled tofu to the skillet along with turmeric, nutritional yeast, and black salt. Mix well.

    Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.
  5. Finish with Seasoning

    Add soy sauce and spinach, stirring until spinach wilts and everything is heated through.

    Adjust seasoning with black pepper as desired.
