THE BEST TOFU SCRAMBLE
If you like a softly scrambled egg on toast, you're going to love this soft-scrambled tofu recipe. The secret is the addition of Indian black salt (also known as kala namak or black lava salt), which has an egglike flavor and is available online or at specialty food stores. Because it is lower in sodium, we round out the dish with a little kosher salt too. We like our scramble on toast but it would also make a great filling for a vegan breakfast burrito.

Steps:
- Gently wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel or a double layer of paper towels to blot out excess moisture. Place the tofu in a medium bowl. Add the black salt and turmeric and stir well with a fork, crumbling the tofu and fully combining the spices.
- Melt the vegan butter in a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat, swirling the pan to coat evenly. Add the tofu mixture and spread it out evenly in the pan using a rubber spatula. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook undisturbed until the edges begin to turn yellow from the turmeric and some moisture is bubbling up, about 1 minute 30 seconds.
- Gently stir the scramble, folding the cooked side over and redistributing the tofu to allow it to cook in an even layer. Continue to cook, stirring every 1 minute 30 seconds, until most of the moisture is evaporated and the tofu is the consistency of custardy scrambled eggs, 7 to 9 minutes. As it simmers, more liquid will bubble up and then it will dry out and the scramble will turn a uniform pale yellow color.
- Meanwhile, toast the bread. Divide the scramble between the bread slices and top each with half the vegan cheese.
TOFU SCRAMBLE
This quick scramble is a combination of flavors and textures that will surprise and delight tofu-lovers and doubters alike. Soy sauce, turmeric and cumin provide bold seasoning, while searing the block of tofu on both sides before breaking it up yields plenty of crispy bits as well as tender ones. You can add cooked vegetables, leafy greens, beans, cheese or nutritional yeast with the scallions in Step 4, though you may want to increase the seasoning depending on the amount of extras you add. You can also swap in hot sauce, mustard or tahini for the soy sauce and play around with spice combinations, but don't skip the splash of water - it helps the tofu soak up all the flavors. Serve with toast, tortillas, salad or breakfast potatoes.

Steps:
- Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally as you would a hamburger bun. Pat both pieces dry and wrap in paper towels. If time allows, press the tofu by placing a cast-iron skillet or other heavy object on top of the wrapped tofu for about 30 minutes. (This helps remove moisture so the tofu retains its shape better during cooking.)
- In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the soy sauce, turmeric and cumin with 2 tablespoons water.
- Unwrap the tofu and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the tofu blocks and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook until golden brown and crisp on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes. If the tofu is emitting water, hold the tofu with a spatula and pour the water out of the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break up the tofu into chunks. Add the scallions and the seasoning mixture and cook, stirring and continuing to break up the tofu, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

- Drain the tofu container, then pat the tofu dry with a clean dish towel. Place the tofu in a large bowl and use your fingers to break the tofu into bite-sized irregular shaped pieces. (It might be a little cold on your hands: don’t worry, it should only take a few seconds!) Stir in the olive oil, turmeric, salt and pepper.
- Add the cumin and garlic powder to a dry skillet. Cook on medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tofu and increase the heat to medium high. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and starting to lightly brown. Remove the heat and place it on the serving plates. Serve with toast, veggie saute (below), or if you want to get fancy, vegan bacon.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion. Thinly slice the bell pepper. Heat the olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the onion and peppers. Cook 4 to 6 minutes until just starting to brown, stirring occasionally. Add a pinch of salt and the baby greens. Cook for 30 seconds until wilted. Remove from the heat and serve alongside the tofu scramble.
