Tofu Scramble

I am surprised that it took me so long to finally make a tofu scramble. This vegan tofu scramble recipe is an easy to make base recipe with possibilities for all your leftover veggies to join the party. Before I became a vegan my Sunday morning go-to was an egg scramble with all the fixings. What I have come to learn is that anything can be veganized, and so my Sunday tradition can continue on.

In case you are still a tad unsure what tofu scramble is, a plant-based version of scrambled eggs but made with tofu. Instead of scrambling eggs you will crumble your tofu into bite sized pieces to resemble scrambled eggs. The yellow color will come from turmeric powder when seasoning. This dish is the basis for vegan brunches everywhere.

The variations for a tofu scramble are endless. Try adding your favorite veggies like onion, peppers, broccoli, mushroom, carrot, spinach, tomatoes, kale. Top with avocado, salsa, hot sauce, fresh herbs to boost the flavor. You can see how I eat this every week now, because each week is it’s own delicious creation. You can up your scramble game by wrapping it in a tortilla for a breakfast burrito or loading it on toast. My favorite is to add mushrooms, extra garlic and spinach topping it off with a bit of sriracha and served with fried breakfast potatoes.
