Ingredients

Scale

Tofu Scramble Base

  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale, chopped

Bread and Toppings

  • 2 slices veggie-based bread or 1 English muffin, toasted
  • Optional toppings: avocado slices, vegan cheese, fresh herbs (chives, cilantro, parsley), hot sauce, vegan mayo

Instructions

  1. Press and Crumble the Tofu: Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture, which helps it crisp up nicely in the pan. Then crumble the firm tofu with your hands or a fork until the texture resembles scrambled eggs.
  2. Prepare the Veggies: Chop onion, garlic, bell peppers, and greens into bite-sized pieces for flavor and texture.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Heat a little oil in a pan and cook onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant. Add bell peppers and greens, stirring frequently until tender but still vibrant.
  4. Cook the Tofu with Seasonings: Add the crumbled tofu to the pan, then sprinkle turmeric, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper evenly. Mix thoroughly and cook for 5-7 minutes until firm but moist.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Toast your choice of bread or English muffin, pile on the tofu scramble, and add any extra toppings like avocado or vegan cheese before closing and serving.

Notes

  • Press the tofu well to remove excess moisture and improve texture.
  • Use fresh turmeric powder and nutritional yeast for enhanced flavor.
  • Avoid overcooking tofu scramble to keep it moist and tender.
  • Toast the bread properly for a satisfying crunch that complements the soft scramble.
  • Experiment with different greens such as kale, spinach, or spring mix for variation and added nutrition.
