Easy Vegan Tofu Scramble (High-Protein Breakfast Recipe)

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 300 g firm tofu (about 10–12 oz)
• 2 onions
• 1 bunch of chives, chopped
• 2 teaspoons black salt (kala namak), or to taste (essential for eggy flavor)
• a pinch of black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• oil, for frying

Instructions

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Slice the onions into thin half-moons and add them to the pan. Sauté for a few minutes until softened.

Crumble the tofu with your hands directly into the pan. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break it into smaller pieces while cooking.

Add black salt, pepper, and turmeric. Stir well and cook for a few minutes until everything is heated through and combined.

Finish by stirring in the chopped chives, or sprinkle them on top just before serving.

Enjoy!
