Tofu is one of the most versatile ingredients out there. It has the amazing ability to soak up any flavor and transform into whatever you want it to. It’s also super high in protein, so is the perfect base for so many meals.

Because of these properties, it’s ideal for the vegan diet. For those vegans out there who grew up omnivorous, chances are you will miss having eggs in your diet. However, with this tofu scramble recipe, you don’t have to feel hard done by. Using black salt gives this an eggy flavor, and is the perfect quick and tasty lunch.

Ingredients:

  • (Serves 4)
  • 12-ounce pack of firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric 
  • ½ teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a pot. Crumble the tofu up with your hands, and add to the pot. 
  2. Stir through the turmeric, black salt, and black pepper, ensuring it’s all well-mixed throughout the tofu.
  3. Fry this for about 5 minutes, until the tofu is golden brown.
  4. Serve this on top of buttered toast. To make this meal even more delicious, you could smash some avocado on the toast, and sprinkle some fresh cilantro over the top.
