Tofu Scrambled Egg

  • Author: Elaine Spencer
  • Cook Time: 10
  • Total Time: 70
  • Yield: 1 1x

Description

This recipe more than any other showcases the magic of tofu, turmeric, and a little patience. In just a few minutes, scrambled “eggs” will appear before your eyes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed well
  • 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 ½ tablespoons non-dairy butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened non-dairy milk

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu for an hour or more. For this recipe, it is important that the tofu be is as dense as possible so that it holds together during cooking. After pressing, slice into 1/8-inch wide strips. The slices don’t have to be perfect because they will break up during cooking.
  2. Combine the seasonings in a small bowl. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the seasonings and the milk. Stir for about 1 minute to make a sauce.
  3. Add the tofu. Turn the heat up to medium-high. With a metal spatula, alternate gently separating the tofu slices, distributing the sauce, and then letting the slices sit to cook. Continue cooking for 8–10 minutes, depending on how moist or dry you want the scramble.

Notes

  • Don’t start with a skillet that is too hot. This will cause the butter and seasonings to clump and cook before the tofu is added.
  • The dry ingredients for this recipe can be made ahead of time in a large batch. For each block of tofu you cook, measure out 3 ¼ teaspoons of the blend and whisk into the milk and vegan butter.
  • Try substituting “black salt” for regular salt for an egg-y aroma and taste.

    We only eat plant based, so proud to be Vegans!! One of my favorites is pasta or baked potato with veggies and nutritional yeast.

      Hey Courtney! I love homemade seitan, too. So versatile! I just got the latest VegNews and there’s a recipe for “turkey” seitan wrapped in puffed pastry. Oh my it looks so good!

    That scramble looks so yummy! This week my favorite plant based meal was some black beans and butternut squash enchiladas!

    We are trying to get away from processed substitutes because they are so highly processed. I do cook with organic tofu, and occasionally seitan, but too much causes gastric issues. Everything in moderation. 🙂

    I have been vegan since my birthday-July 9,2014,and I love knowing that no animals suffered in the making of my meals.

    I prefer plant-based meats not made from gluten flour or soy protein – like your lentil meatloaf. I’m always on the hunt for a sausage recipe without those ingredients.

    It depends but Once in a while I like the fishless from Gardein. However, I do enjoy my tofu and tempeh in all kind of way.
    Thanks for that wonderful giveaway. It is really appreciated

    Lately my favorite “meat” is making my tempeh bacon. I do enjoy seitan and tofu, too. I just wish I was better at making seitan. The processed faux meats have too many ingredients for me to indulge very often. The book sounds yummy!

    I don’t eat many meat substitutes ~ tofu is probably the one I cook the most (and portobellos!) I’m afraid to make seitan! I don’t know why! Maybe because I haven’t found a good recipe? Your scramble looks so good ~ as well as all of the photos (I’m hungry now!) ~ thank you for the recipe!

    I like Quorn but have recently been eating Field Roast sausages. Yummy!!!! I do really like seitan in a lot of my dishes too. One thing I need to learn to make.

    I am not vegan as of now but I am interested in this lifestyle and I have made numerous changes to my diet. I am definitely intrigued by the plant based diet. I wish I wasn’t so addicted to meat and dairy products. Ugh. I am slowly eliminating them though and I am really enjoying the changes!
