The Importance of Each Ingredient:
Firm Tofu – The perfect base for scrambled eggs, tofu provides a great texture, high protein, and essential nutrients like calcium and iron.
Nutritional Yeast – Adds a cheesy, umami flavor while providing B vitamins and protein.
Turmeric – Gives the scramble a golden color and provides anti-inflammatory benefits.
Garlic Powder & Onion Powder – Enhances flavor and gives a savory depth to the scramble.
Black Salt (Kala Namak) – The key ingredient for an eggy taste due to its sulfur content.
Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk – Helps create a creamy texture.
Olive Oil or Vegan Butter – Adds richness and prevents the tofu from sticking.
Black Pepper & Paprika – Brings warmth and enhances the overall flavor.
Chopped Veggies (optional: bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms) – Adds texture, color, and extra nutrients.
Cooking Tips:
For a softer texture, use silken tofu instead of firm tofu.
Adding a bit more black salt at the end enhances the eggy taste.
Experiment with different spices, such as cumin or smoked paprika, for a unique twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of plant-based milk to keep it creamy.
