A healthy breakfast will get your day off to a good start. At the same time, it shouldn't take too much time and effort either. Unless you feel like it, of course. This scrambled tofu - a plant-based alternative to scrambled eggs - can be made in no time, is very tasty and immediately starts the day with a portion of protein. Also, recipe has only 5 ingredients in the base, so it's nice and easy.
As far as I'm concerned, it's quick and easy enough to prepare during the week, but it certainly doesn't look out of place in a more elaborate vegan English breakfast on Sunday either. Really don't have time to prepare it in the morning? Then make it the night before and bake it in the morning. Do wait to add the kala manak - or sulfur salt - until just before serving, or it will lose its flavor. By the way, it's also quite tasty cold.
In this recipe for scrambled tofu only a few ingredients are used to add flavor to the tofu. The soy sauce makes it nice and salty, and gives it a bit of that umami taste. The kurkuma makes it extra savory. Also, the kurkuma causes the tofu to turn yellow, making it look a little more like egg. But kurkuma has even more benefits: in fact, it is very healthy. Among other things, it acts as an anti-inflammatory and aids in digestion. The combination with black pepper ensures that it is absorbed extra well.
Serve with bread or toast and toppings of your choice. Or use it as a protein source in a wrap.
