How to make creamy vegan scrambled eggs: tofu scramble recipe

  • Rinse the red bell pepper, then remove the seeds and slice it into thin wedges. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and spring onions. Cut the black olives in half after removing their pits.
  • Heat the coconut oil (or olive oil) in a pan over medium heat. Add the tofu to the pan and mash it with a potato masher or fork, or crumble it with your hands. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until most of the moisture from the tofu has evaporated.
  • Add the sliced bell peppers, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, and spring onions to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Pour in the non-dairy milk and stir to combine. Serve immediately with sliced avocado, hot sauce, parsley, steamed kale, toast, or any other breakfast side you like.

Notes

Notes:

  1. Add Vegetables: For a tasty tofu scramble, mix in vegetables. Cook diced onions or minced garlic in oil for 2-3 minutes before adding the tofu. Add veggies like fresh spinach, kale, thinly sliced red peppers, small chopped broccoli, or diced tomatoes towards the end, after adding the milk. Cook for a few more minutes.
  2. Oil-Free Option: Skip the oil if you prefer an oil-free scramble.
  3. Non-Dairy Milk: Use any unsweetened, unflavored non-dairy milk, such as soy, almond, cashew, oat, or coconut milk.
