Ingredients
- 9 oz (250 g) firm tofu drained (*see notes)
- 1/2 tbsp oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) plant-based milk
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp onion powder

Instructions
- You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Crumble the tofu in a medium-sized bowl with your fingers.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (don't burn it).
- Add the crumbled tofu, plant-based milk, and all spices. Stir to combine. Cook for about 6-8 more minutes or until the tofu is heated all the way through and the plant-based milk has evaporated.
- Taste the tofu scramble and adjust seasonings. Serve over bread and garnish with fresh chives. Enjoy! Check the recipe notes below for tips.
Notes
- Which tofu to use? - I recommend using firm tofu. Don't use silken tofu (way too soft) or extra firm tofu as these options will not turn out properly in this type of recipe.
- Plant-based milk - You can use any dairy-free milk of choice, for example, almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, etc.
- How to store? - Store the vegan scrambled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s not suggested that you freeze this dish.
- Add-ins - If you want to make your tofu scramble even healthier, treat it like you would normal eggs. Add in veggies such as spinach, scallions, tomatoes. You can also top it with vegan cheese.
- How to serve? - Serve with bread/toast (I used Homemade Gluten-Free Bread) or Roasted Potatoes, etc.
