Tofu scramble is a delightful and nutritious alternative to scrambled eggs, perfect for vegan and vegetarian meals. This specific recipe uses mustard and turmeric to add a burst of flavor and a vibrant color to the dish, making it not only a treat for the taste buds but also visually appealing.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Drain the tofu well and press it to remove excess moisture. This can be done by placing the tofu between paper towels and pressing gently or using a tofu press if you have one.
- Once pressed, crumble the tofu into small, bite-sized pieces. Aim for a scrambled egg consistency.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking.
- Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let it heat through and start to brown slightly.
- Sprinkle in the onion powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the tofu is evenly coated with the spices.
- Stir in the mustard and mix well to combine. The mustard adds a tangy flavor that complements the spices.
- Pour in the milk and stir the mixture. The milk helps to create a slightly creamy texture.
- Add a dash of black pepper to taste. Stir everything together to ensure the flavors are well-distributed.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the tofu scramble reaches your desired consistency. It should be heated through and evenly yellow from the turmeric and mustard.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the tofu scramble warm, perhaps with a side of toast, fresh vegetables, or your favorite breakfast sides.
Tips:
- Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a better texture.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the tofu from sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes for added nutrition and flavor.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste; you can add more pepper or even some garlic powder if desired.
Tofu scramble with mustard and turmeric is a simple yet flavorful dish that can be prepared in just a few minutes. It's a versatile recipe that allows for plenty of customization according to your taste preferences. Serve it on its own, on toast, or as a filling for a breakfast burrito for a wholesome and satisfying meal.
