Tofu Scrambled Egg is the perfect "egg" replacement in a vegans life. I can't count how many times I've heard someone say "I could do vegan...but I couldn't go without eggs"
Introducing scrambled tofu! I used to love eggs because they are easy snack. If you have some eggs & milk in the fridge then a quick, high protein snack or breakfast is always possible to you.
The great thing about this recipe is that it is exactly just that! If you're a vegan then there is a good chance that you keep all of these ingredients on hand anyway. If you don't,then you should start!
Tofu Scrambled Egg - The Ingredients
The combination of the silken + firm tofu for this recipe creates that cooked / undercooked texture to your scramble that perfectly mimics its eggy counterpart. Make sure to break apart your firm tofu with a fork first, before adding in your silken tofu
I have also made this recipe with only firm tofu, and only silken tofu. Both work. Your firm tofu being the "more cooked egg" & silken tofu mimicking a "less cooked egg". Personally I believe mixing the two creates the best result!
Black Salt - Kala Namak
The black salt in this recipe is the key ingredient. You can make it without it, but you get that eggy flavour, essentially making the recipe quite bland and tasteless.
Kala Namak, also known as Black Salt or Himalayan Black Salt, has a sulphurous smell thanks to its sulphur content. This smell will fill your kitchen as you whisk it together with the soy milk, nutritional yeast, & turmeric.
Scrambled Tofu - Pan Frying
Add your tofu mix & wet mix to hot pan. I like to use ½ tablespoon of vegan butter to fry it in. Stir the mixture and then cover for 5 approximately 5 minutes on low heat, stirring once. Its ready to service once the tofu has absorbed all of the liquid.
This is awesome served up with a piece of sourdough toast and some vegan bacon. Here you can see my version of vegan bacon. Im working hard to make a gluten free bacon. Post coming soon!
