  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or vegan butter)
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder (for color)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, adds cheesy flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp black salt (kala namak, for eggy flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or bell peppers (optional, for extra nutrients)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Tofu

  • Crumble it into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a fork.
  • Cook the Scramble

  • Add crumbled tofu and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Season & Mix
  • Sprinkle in turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, black salt, and black pepper.
  • Stir well, making sure all the tofu is evenly coated.
  • Add plant-based milk for a softer texture (optional).
  • Add Veggies (Optional)
  • Stir in spinach, bell peppers, or other veggies and cook for 2-3 more minutes until softened.
  • Serve & Enjoy

  • Serve warm with toast, avocado, or as a filling for breakfast burritos!

Notes
