vegan scrambled eggs

Tofu scramble, a vegan alternative to scrambled eggs. It's so easy to make, high in protein, and ready in 15 minutes with only 4 ingredients!

Tofu Scramble

firm tofu (225 g)

tsp turmeric powder, see notes

tsp ground black pepper

Chop the tofu and use a fork to crumble it into bite-sized pieces.

Add some oil to a frying pan and when it’s hot, add the tofu and all the remaining ingredients (salt, turmeric powder, and ground black pepper). Stir until well combined and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Serve immediately (I served my tofu scramble over some toasted bread and topped it with fresh parsley) with fresh fruit, vegan bacon or vegan sausages as part of a vegan brunch. You can also eat it with vegan pancakes and coffee or juice.

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also prepare the tofu before cooking and freeze it for up to 5 months. 

Very easy and really delicious 😋 I too added a little bit of soy milk to loosen it a bit.
Best recipe so far! 😊 Thank you ☺️

This is the first time trying tofu scramble ever. I can’t describe enough how good and simple this is! Thank you!!

Didn't use measurements just to taste. Added some salsa and put it with hashbrowns.  Super good.

Dear Iosune
Yum yum yum. I read your recipe and ordered the black salt prior to my first tofu scramble. Followed your recipe and served on oven cooked big mushrooms. Wow many thanks. The salt really makes this dish. Grateful for your cooking knowledge as I am transitioning to vegan. Kind regards Kaz

This has become my go to breakfast!   I use black salt and it is so yummy.  Adding a tbsp of flax seeds makes it really healthy.   Thanks!

We have been switching to vegan.  I was very leery of this taking the place of my scrambled eggs but what a surprise.  Taste and texture awesome!

Tastes great! I added in 1/4 tspn on garlic in to the recipe. I'd serve this to any of my carnivore friends and they'd probably like it. While it doesn't taste exactly like eggs (I didn't have the Himilayan black salt available), it's still delicious and the color's a great match!  Thank you!

I’m not even a vegetarian but I love this recipe! Sometimes I add green onion on top, or the plain turmeric tofu scramble is delicious!

It is so good!  Easy, simple to make.  I put it in a bowl and added Hatch Green Chile salsa, pinto beans and brown rice.  Delicioso!

I didn't expect this to be as good as it was. I don't think I've ever tried any vegan food that serves as such a perfect substitute to the original dish. Next time I'll try adding some vegan cream, as I usually had my scrambled eggs with cream cheese mixed in. Great recipe!

I appreciate the visual aid with the photos and labeling each step!    I mean tofu is easy, but other recipes you get lost on what it’s supposed to look like etc.     so thank you for being insightful!

Awesome alternative to using eggs. Black salt really gives it the egg taste.

This was really delicious and super easy!

I used a bit of onion and paprika, absolutely delicious, great recipe thanks

Tofu scramble, a vegan alternative to scrambled eggs. It’s so easy to make, high in protein, and ready in 15 minutes with only 4 ingredients!

<p><em>Japanese scrambled eggs made vegan using yuba and an eggy sauce! Perfectly sweet n' savory, soft &amp; runny.</em></p>

Tamagoyaki Scramble

silken tofu (60 grams)

tbsp chickpea, white rice

kombu dashi granules (or 1 tsp miso paste)

mirin (10 grams)

tsp sugar (10 grams)

tsp baking powder

tsp black salt

pepper

yeast (8 grams)

turmeric (for colour)

kizami nori (cut up seaweed)

soy sauce

scallions

sesame seeds

If using dried yuba, rehydrate in hot water for 3-5 minutes. Roughly tear the yuba into smaller pieces, about a palm sized.

Blend the silken tofu, soy milk, flour, soy sauce, dashi, mirin, sugar and baking powder until smooth. This will be our eggy sauce that also scrambles.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add oil or vegan butter. Add the silken tofu mixture and place the yuba pieces on top. Let it cook for about 1-2 minutes without touching it. Once the edges start to look cooked, use chopsticks or a spatula and push the edges toward the middle. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 30-45 seconds, pushing the egg mixture every few seconds until desired consistency. Using your fingers, pinch the black salt on top. 

Remove from stove and serve over rice or on the side. Enjoy!

Oh man! All of your Japanese recipes are taking me back big time! Bachan used to make this for me as an afternoon snack. I was weird and would douse the scramble with black pepper too. Stoked to make this vegan version as I haven’t had eggs in forever. Using yuba is genius!

Super delicious. The texture of the yuba sheets were on point. The black salt is a must if you like the "eggy" flavor but everything was soooo good. I was out of chickpea flour which I usually use for okonomiyaki or egg foo young. I used mochiko flour instead but will have to try it again when we get chickpea flour again. I also add some crunchy garlic chili oil also.

Easy recipe to make vegan scrambled eggs from chickpeas and not tofu. These scrambled eggs have a similar taste, texture and protein content as normal scrambled eggs. This recipe is vegan, plant-based, oil-free, soy-free and gluten-free.
