Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block of tofu (I use firm or extra-firm tofu)
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (I recommend Kala Namak)
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- On a medium to large size non-stick skillet, place the tofu without any oil.
- Smoosh/crumble the tofu with your hand. Gentle pressing of the tofu does the job.
- Turn on the heat and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the water from the tofu evaporates. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon.
- Season the tofu with nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, and turmeric.
- Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes with frequent stirring.
- Add the salt and pepper and cook for an additional minute or two.
Notes
- Turmeric is the ingredient that gives a pretty yellow color that we see in the scrambled eggs. However, little goes a long way. Do not overdo the turmeric. Turmeric tends to have a bitter taste and you don't want your scrambled tofu to be bitter.
- If you have Kala namak (AKA black salt), use that instead of salt. It will make your scrambled tofu eggy in taste!
