Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 block silken tofu
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Drain the silken tofu completely and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Gently crumble the tofu into small, uneven pieces that resemble scrambled egg texture.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crumbled tofu with nutritional yeast, soy sauce, and turmeric. Mix gently to ensure the tofu is evenly coated and takes on a golden-yellow color from the turmeric.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm up for about 30 seconds.
- Add the seasoned tofu mixture to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up any large pieces to maintain a scrambled egg-like consistency.
- As the tofu cooks, it will release moisture and become slightly firmer. Continue cooking until the tofu looks slightly crispy at the edges and has a light golden color.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish generously with freshly chopped chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while hot, alongside toast, rice, or your preferred breakfast accompaniments.
Tips
- Choose the Right Tofu: For the best texture, opt for silken tofu, as it mimics the creaminess of scrambled eggs. Be sure to drain it well to avoid excess moisture.
- Perfect Your Seasoning: Adjust the soy sauce and nutritional yeast to your taste. For a more intense flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of sesame oil.
- Cook on Medium Heat: Keeping the heat at medium ensures that the tofu cooks evenly without burning. Stir occasionally to achieve that perfect scrambled consistency.
- Garnish for Flavor: Don’t skip the chives! They add a fresh, oniony kick that enhances the overall taste and makes your dish visually appealing.
- Serve with Style: Pair your Vegan Japanese Scrambled Eggs with toast, rice, or even avocado for a complete meal that’s both hearty and healthy.
