How To Make Vegan Scrambled Tofu
This recipe is one of my favorites because it’s ready in under 20 minutes and is an easy family-style breakfast. Follow my recipe to make a tasty scramble with fresh sautéed vegetables with a hint of spice!
Start by dicing up the ingredients and sautéing them until golden. To prepare the tofu for scrambling, simply open the package of firm or super firm tofu and drain the water. Next, add the block of tofu to the pan and smash into crumbles using a fork or spatula. During this time any extra liquid will cook out of the tofu. This should take around 5 minutes.
Next, add the nutritional yeast and dry spices into the pan and stir until well mixed. The tofu will turn a golden color and will look similar to scrambled eggs! To finish off the tofu and give it a texture closer to that of eggs, add in the 1/4 cup of plant based milk. Stir together and just before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Unlike other tofu recipes, you won’t have to press the tofu to remove excess moisture.
