Oh, how lovely Sunday breakfasts can be, when you have the time to really enjoy the day. While you are slowly getting ready for the day, you finally have time to enjoy a long and wholesome first meal. And with that comes tofu scramble.

For those people who usually have breakfast fried egg in their routine, the tofu scramble can be a very nice and light Cholesterol free alternative.

You can even make that stuff taste like egg with some kala namak salt. Kala namak contains high amounts of sulfur, which causes the typical smell and taste of eggs.

Combined with some bread and fresh vegetables, you can make your scramble a rich addition to your wholesome breakfast.

How to make tofu scramble

For a good scramble, I recommend using a medium to firm tofu. Rinse and pat it dry with a paper towel. Optionally, press some more water out by squeezing it between cutting boards.

Now, you can crumble the tofu apart. You can use a fork to make small crumbles fast. Add turmeric for coloring, salt, pepper, and cumin for flavor. Chop some vegetables of your choice and mix them well with the tofu.

Heat some oil in a pan and fry the tofu on medium-high heat. Stir occasionally, but also give the tofu some time to rest. We want it to catch up some of that sweet Maillard reaction and brown up.

Finally, add some freshly chopped herbs like parsley or basil, and the dish is complete. Serve the tofu scramble on bread rolls or as a side.

Making the scramble more sticky

If you like your tofu scramble a bit more sticky, then you have several options. First, add a splash of plant-based drink to the pan after you create a good roast. If you want it to become more gooey, mix some cornstarch with the soy milk before adding it to the pan. After a while, it will soak up much of the liquid and sticks everything together.
