Vegan Turmeric Tofu Scramble

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
How do you turn soybeans into an egg experience? The secret is 'Black Salt' (Kala Namak), which, due to its high sulfur content, mimics the exact aroma and taste of hard-boiled eggs. The crumbly texture of firm tofu perfectly replicates scrambled eggs.

Instructions

1 ✓

Drain the tofu, pat it dry, and crumble it into bite-sized pieces into a bowl using a fork.

Tip: The drier the surface, the better it will brown (Maillard reaction).
2 ✓

Sauté the chopped onion and peppers in oil until translucent, then add the crushed garlic.

Tip: Add garlic at the end to prevent it from burning and becoming bitter.
3 ✓

Add the crumbled tofu to the pan. Season with turmeric, paprika, and black pepper. Sauté for a few minutes.

Tip: Turmeric is fat-soluble, so cooking it in the oil gives the tofu a brilliant egg-yolk yellow color.
4 ✓

Stir in the diced tomato and cook until the liquid evaporates and the scramble comes together.

Tip: Tomatoes add a touch of umami.
5 ✓

Remove from heat, THEN stir in the Black Salt (Kala Namak) and parsley.

Tip: The sulfurous aroma of Black Salt fades with high heat, so always finish with it.

Recipe FAQ

Why is my tofu watery?
Tofu holds a lot of water. Press it or pat it dry with paper towels before cooking to help it brown better and absorb more flavor.
Where can I buy Black Salt?
Look for 'Kala Namak' in Asian markets or online. It is essential for that authentic 'eggy' flavor!
