Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 block firm tofu
- ½ cup full-fat oat milk
Spices and Seasonings:
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon chipotle chile flakes
- ½ teaspoon kala namak
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Drain one 14-ounce block of firm tofu completely. Crumble the tofu into small, uneven chunks using your hands, creating a texture similar to scrambled eggs.
- Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon paprika, and ½ teaspoon chipotle chile flakes over the crumbled tofu. Mix thoroughly to distribute spices evenly.
- Add ½ teaspoon kala namak, a pinch of black pepper, 1 tablespoon tahini, and 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast to the tofu. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and coated.
- Pour ½ cup oat milk into the tofu mixture. Gently fold the liquid through the tofu to create a moist, creamy consistency.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat at 350°F. Spread the tofu mixture evenly across the pan’s surface.
- Cook the tofu for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Ensure the tofu is heated thoroughly and develops a light golden color.
- Taste the scramble and adjust seasoning with additional kala namak and sea salt as needed. Remove from heat immediately when desired texture is achieved.
- Transfer the hot scramble to a serving plate. Sprinkle an extra pinch of kala namak on top for enhanced flavor before serving.
Notes
- Drain tofu thoroughly to ensure a crispy, well-textured scramble that absorbs seasonings perfectly.
- Use kala namak (black salt) for an authentic eggy flavor that makes this scramble taste remarkably similar to traditional eggs.
- Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy, nutty depth that elevates the entire dish and provides extra protein and B-vitamins.
- For a vegetable-packed version, sauté bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms in the skillet before adding the seasoned tofu for extra nutrition and flavor.
