Best tofu scramble! an easy recipe for vegan scrambled eggs with tofu as an egg substitute! Perfectly seasoned protein rich delicious plant based breakfast! Made with simple ingredients like nutritional yeast, black salt, veggies and more!….
Ok guys I'm going to teach you how to make the Best and Easiest Tofu Scramble! And Let me just say I know my recipe is super tasty when my husband likes it. He's not a huge fan of tofu. I, on the other hand love the stuff.
This vegan egg recipe ticks all the right boxes, super easy, fluffy, moist, silky and full of flavour, and thanks to the addition of black salt it's eggy too. Which is good since it's my vegan take on scrambled eggs, ha ha! Absolutely fabulous for lunch or dinner too!!
These Tofu Scrambled Eggs are inspired for my love of Amy's Breakfast Scramble! When I first started cutting eggs from my diet I ate these a lot! They're very tasty, but buying store bought all the time is not the way to go and it can get pricy.
So voila! I made my own veganized version and they're the AMAZING! down right delicious!
What are vegan scrambled eggs made of?
- extra firm tofu
- nutritional yeast
- black salt
- onions and green peppers
- Better than Bouillon Vegetarian no chicken soup base,

What is black salt (kala namak)?
Kala namak, (black salt) is an Indian volcanic rock salt. It is a salty and pungent smelling condiment ( smells like eggs) commonly used in India and other Asian countries.
How to make a tofu scramble?
This tofu scramble is very easy and versatile. It's definitely one of those simple tofu recipes you need to add to your recipe box. You can add in whatever veggies you like at the beginning.
Today I'm sharing my basic tofu scramble recipe, with onions and peppers thrown in. I love the addition of onions and peppers, it reminds me of a Denver omelette , which was one of my favs.
Set a non stick skillet over medium heat and add in the onions and peppers, vegan butter or oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Now saute the veggies until they start to soften and the onions get a little brown around the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes.
While the veggies are cooking add the bouillon, spices, nutritional yeast, Braggs and water to a small bowl and set aside.
When the veggies are done crumble in your tofu (I like to crumble it by hand). Now stir the tofu and veggie mix until it's warmed through which takes a minute or so.
Lastly stir in the seasoning liquid and mix thoroughly. Stir the scramble until most (or all) of the liquid is absorbed. Serve and enjoy your breakfast! For full recipe ingredients and instructions see recipe card below.

A breakfast favorite in our house. I've made it too many times to count. Totally recommend!
Verna
Glad you enjoying the recipe appreciate your feedback!
Anne
Could I use Silken tofu in your tofu scramble? Or would it be to soft?
Verna
I'd stick with firm or extra form tofu otherwise the eggs will be too soft. Hope that helps. Enjoy!
Brent
Do you press your tofu for the scramble?
Verna
No pressing the tofu is not necessary for this recipe. Enjoy!
