Tofu Scramble
The quickest and tastiest high protein breakfast! Tofu scramble is the best substitute for eggs, but much healthier with zero cholesterol.
Ingredients
Produce
- 1 block tofu (medium to firm)
- 1 cup spinach
Spices
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp smoked paprika
- ⅛ tsp turmeric
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large pan on medium-high. This recipe does not require oil, but feel free to add vegan butter here if you prefer the taste.
- Break up and squish tofu using hands or fork into the pan until the texture resembles scrambled eggs.
- Saute the tofu for 1 min, then stir in all the spices. The scramble should start to tint yellow from the turmeric.
- Continue to leave on heat for 5 mins, tossing occasionally. If the tofu or spices stick to the bottom of the pan, or if the tofu looks dry, stir in small amounts of water at a time to plump up the tofu.
- Add spinach to the pan and season with more salt and pepper. Fold the spinach into the scramble until the leaves start to wilt. Saute for a few more minutes.

Notes
Make it a meal! Serve with hot sauce (or however you like your eggs) and plate with a side of sliced avocado, toast, and vegan butter.
Make it fancy If you really want that egg taste, invest in black salt or kala namak. It has a sulfurous taste and smell that mimics eggs very closely.
