Recipe Description

The Classic Vegan Tofu Scramble recipe stands as a quintessential breakfast delight for those seeking a plant-based alternative to traditional scrambled eggs. This dish masterfully combines the rich, savory palette of spices with the natural, subtle flavors of tofu, creating a texture and taste that appeals to vegans and non-vegans alike. Turmeric gives the scramble its characteristic yellow hue, mimicking the appearance of eggs, while nutritional yeast adds a depth of umami and a cheese-like flavor, enhancing its overall gastronomic appeal. Bell peppers and onions introduce a satisfying crunch and sweetness, respectively, rounding off the dish’s complex flavor profile. This recipe not only caters to the nutritional needs of a vegan diet but also serves as an excellent introduction to tofu for those curious about plant-based proteins.

Ingredients

  • 1 package firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black salt (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  1. Press tofu to remove excess water and crumble into a bowl.
