Vegan Tofu Scramble Recipe

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Servings 2

Ingredients

1 brown onion
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 punnet of cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup baby spinach
300 gr classic tofu or silken
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs
1/2 tsp turmeric powder (optional to make it more egg like)
1/2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari or sub for coconut aminos
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic or onion powder
vegan parmesan or oregano leaves to top.

Instructions

Dice and cook your onion and garlic in a pan with a bit of olive oil until cooked;
Add in the sliced cherry tomatoes and baby spinach and cook for a few minutes;
Add in the classic tofu and scramble with the back of the spoon. Mix it around and add all the seasonings.
Cook for 5 minutes stirring it until it looks scrambled.
Top with oregano, vegan parmesan, salt and pepper and serve with salad and sourdough.

Finally, add some hot sauce and you are good to go!

I’m using this spicy Piri-Piri sauce (Canada shipping only, currently) but this one is very similar and ships worldwide.

You can serve my tofu scramble recipe with a salad, and tortillas or I like it with sourdough too. Tofu scramble is also a great dish to make for kids.

Maybe leave the onion or garlic out to make it more child-friendly but my kids really like it too. If you want more info to reduce picky eating check out this post and this post.

Is Soy Safe?

Now I know some of you might be worried about consuming soy. I get so many questions about whether soy is safe to eat. I wrote a blog post on the subject.

In short, yes soy is safe to consume but you should eat a diverse plant-based diet including many different sorts of plant-based protein.

Also if you can choose organic non-gmo soy.

==> Read my post on soy here. It can be a personal choice but as a nutritionist I recommend tofu 2-3 times per week for a great protein packed meal.

Tofu is also high in calcium and iron, 2 very important minerals on a vegan diet. I hope you will try my simple vegan tofu scramble recipe!
