Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

The base for the scramble

  • 10 oz tofu firm or extra firm

Sauce

  • ½ cup plant-based milk I used cashew milk
  • 1 tbsp vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp black salt Kala Namak. Optional, but I highly recommend it.

For extra flavor and cooking

  • 2 tbsp vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast optional.
  • Salt and pepper to taste optional.

Instructions
 

  • Wrap the tofu with a dry absorbent towel and place it on a plate. Put something heavy on top, and leave it between 15 to 30 minutes. Some types of firm tofu only need 15 minutes and others 30.
  • In the meantime, prepare the sauce and add the garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, and black salt to a bowl; mix them and then add 1 tbsp of vegetable broth, the yellow mustard and the plant-based milk. Mix until combined, and set aside.
  • When the tofu is drained and ready, place it in a bowl and crumble it into small pieces with a fork, potato masher, or your hands.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tbsp of vegetable broth. Add the tofu scramble and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the prepared sauce into the tofu scramble and mix until combine.
  • Add nutritional yeast, stir to combine, and cook for 3-5 minutes more or until all the liquid has evaporated.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste if needed.
  • Enjoy it, serving it with fruits, potatoes, over bread slices, or with your favorite veggies.
  • Leftovers are great for sandwiches or salads.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
