 Here's a simple and delicious recipe for tofu scramble that resembles scrambled eggs.

Ingredients:

- 1 block (14 oz/400g) firm tofu

- 1 tbsp olive oil (or any preferred cooking oil)

- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (for color)

- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

- 1/2 tsp onion powder

- 1/4 tsp paprika (optional, for flavor)

- 1/4 tsp black salt (kala namak, for eggy flavor) or regular salt

- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)

- 2 tbsp plant-based milk (optional, for creaminess)

- 1/4 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, or spinach – optional)

- Fresh herbs like parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the tofu: Drain the tofu and pat it dry with a paper towel. Use your hands or a fork to crumble it into small, bite-sized pieces.

2. Heat the pan: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

3. Sauté vegetables (optional): If you're adding vegetables, sauté them for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

4. Add tofu: Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Season: Sprinkle the turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), and black salt over the tofu. Mix well to coat evenly. Add the nutritional yeast and plant-based milk if using, and stir to combine.

6. Cook and taste: Continue to cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

7. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm. Pair it with toast, avocado, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
