Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil or another oil or vegan butter
1 block (14.5 ounces) firm or extra-firm tofu
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon black salt (kala namak) or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon turmeric for color (optional)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons unsweetened, unflavored non-dairy milk (such as soy, almond, cashew, oat, or coconut milk)
Instructions
1-Getting started with tofu scramble: Begin by draining and pressing the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into small pieces that look like scrambled eggs for the best texture.
2-Heating and SautΓ©ing the Base: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat to keep things from sticking and add a nice flavor. Once the oil is warm, add chopped onions and bell peppers, then sautΓ© for 3-4 minutes until they soften and release their natural sweetness. This step builds a flavorful base that makes the whole dish shine.
3-Adding and Seasoning the Tofu: Next, mix in the crumbled tofu with the veggies, stirring well to blend everything together. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder for that signature color, along with 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to boost the taste. Keep stirring for even coating, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the tofu heats through and gets a slight brown.
4-Final Touches and Serving: Adjust the seasoning if needed, perhaps with fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce for extra kick. Serve it warm, maybe topped with sliced avocado for a fresh twist. This method works well for gluten-free or low-calorie versions by swapping in lighter ingredients, making it adaptable for everyone from working professionals to newlyweds looking for quick meals.
