Basic Breakfast Tofu Scramble Recipes

EASIEST BREAKFAST TOFU SCRAMBLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Drain the excess water from tofu. Crumble tofu with your hands or with a fork. Set a pan over high heat. Add vegan butter.
• Once vegan butter had melted, transfer the crumbled tofu pieces directly to the pan. Cook tofu for 3 minutes.
• Next, add the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, garlic powder, and salt to the tofu. Stir tofu and seasonings all together. Cook for another 6-8 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper. Serve.

TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Chop the tofu and use a fork to crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
• Add some oil to a frying pan and when it's hot, add the tofu and all the remaining ingredients (salt, turmeric powder, and ground black pepper). Stir until well combined and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Serve your tofu scramble immediately (I served my tofu scramble over some toasted bread and topped it with fresh parsley) with fresh fruit, vegan bacon, or vegan sausage as part of a vegan brunch. You can also serve it with vegan pancakes, vegan crepes, vegan banana bread, and coffee or juice.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also prepare the tofu before cooking and freeze it for up to 5 months. On the other hand, you can also freeze your tofu scrambled eggs after cooking. If you do, the tofu will get a chewier texture, although the eggy flavor won't change. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Add a little oil, water, or vegetable stock if needed.

Steps:

• Drain the tofu container, then pat the tofu dry with a clean dish towel. Place the tofu in a large bowl and use your fingers to break the tofu into bite-sized irregular shaped pieces. (It might be a little cold on your hands: don't worry, it should only take a few seconds!) Stir in the olive oil, turmeric, salt and pepper.
• Add the cumin and garlic powder to a dry skillet. Cook on medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tofu and increase the heat to medium high. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and starting to lightly brown. Remove the heat and place it on the serving plates. Serve with toast, veggie saute (below), or if you want to get fancy, vegan bacon.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion. Thinly slice the bell pepper. Heat the olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the onion and peppers. Cook 4 to 6 minutes until just starting to brown, stirring occasionally. Add a pinch of salt and the baby greens. Cook for 30 seconds until wilted. Remove from the heat and serve alongside the tofu scramble.

SIMPLE TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• , no need to press as the water will dissipate as it cooks. I typically let the block of tofu rest on its side thin side to drain for a few minutes before using.
• Heat the skillet over medium heat, add the tofu while crumbling it between your fingers (above right). Alternatively, add the tofu block to the skillet and use the back of a fork to mash it a bit. You can also break it up with a wooden spoon. Do whatever is comfortable or makes sense for you. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Add the turmeric, nutritional yeast, optional garlic + onion powder, salt and pepper, cooking for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently. If adding veggies, this is the perfect time to add them.
• Lastly, add the vegan cream and black salt, and cook another 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Serves 4
• Serve right away with Breakfast Potatoes or Home Fries, and fresh fruits. Also great with a slice of toasted Artisan Bread!

EASY VEGAN TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare the tofu. Like most tofu recipes, the scramble will taste best by pressing the tofu first.
• Slice the tofu into approximately 1-inch cubes once it has been well pressed.
• Crumble the tofu slightly using either hands or a fork to get the right consistency for a scramble.
• Heat the oil or margarine in a large skillet or frying pan and sauté the chopped onion, pepper, and crumbled tofu for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and soy sauce and reduce the heat down to medium. Allow tofu to cook 5 to 7 more minutes, stirring frequently and adding a bit more oil if needed.
• Add the nutritional yeast and stir to combine, making sure the tofu is well coated.
• Serve just as it is, top it off with salsa, wrap it up in a warmed flour tortilla with a bit of salsa for a breakfast burrito, or top with soy or dairy cheese.

TOFU SCRAMBLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Grease a nonstick pan, or add a little oil to prevent sticking. Sauté the vegetables and garlic over medium heat until lightly browned. Drain the tofu, then add it to the pan. If using firm tofu, break it up with a spatula (silken tofu will break up on its own as you stir). Add the spices and salt. Continue to cook-stirring occasionally-until the tofu is hot and extra liquid has evaporated so it looks like scrambled eggs. Stir in the spinach until it wilts, then serve with toast, home fries, sliced avocado, salsa or hot sauce, a sprinkle of black pepper and nutritional yeast, or whatever you wish. View Nutrition Facts
