Instructions
- Scramble seasoning: To make the scramble seasoning, mix everything in a bowl and set aside or store in a sealed glass bottle for up to 2 months.
- To make the tofu scramble, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil then add the vegetables and cook until they are golden on some edges.
- Slice the tofu block and take about a quarter of the tofu block. Add to a blender. Add 2 teaspoons seasoning and a 1/4 cup of water and blend until smooth.
- You might need more water. Add 1-2 tablespoons at a time and blend until it's super creamy. You can also use 3 oz silken tofu instead of the firm tofu for the eggy mix . (Add a tablespoon cashews or cashew butter or yogurt or tahini for extra creaminess, blend until smooth )
- Then add this creamy mixture to the skillet then mix well.
- When it's just about to boil, add the crumbled up rest of the block of the tofu and mix well.

Notes
- Nutrition includes the scramble and 1.5 tbsp worth seasoning.
(You’ll use only a third of the total seasoning for 15 oz tofu, and 15 oz will make 2-3 serves of the scramble. So 1 tablespoon Indian sulphur salt is divided by 3 and then 2 serves, So it is 1/2 tsp Kala namak per serve) - no need to press your tofu for this recipe
- To crumble the tofu, use a fork or mash it with a potato masher. You could also simply crumble it into the pan with your hands.
- Add any veggies you like. vegetables that need a bit of cooking time like mushrooms, peppers etc should be added before the tofu, like in the recipe. No-cook veggies like spinach can be added along with the crumbled tofu.
- No blender: instead of blending the tofu, use 3 tbsp non dairy cream or yogurt or sour cream and a splash of water if too thick.
- For extra creamy scrambled eggs, add plant-based milk instead of water. Or add 4-5 soaked raw cashews to blend with the tofu and water
- Soyfree try my chickpea flour scramble ,or use my chickpea flour tofu.
