Tofu Scramble

You could fool many an egg-lover with a couple blocks of tofu, a some turmeric, and kala namak (black salt from volcanic rock, with a sulphurous taste). I’ve made variations of this scramble so many times over the years, for vegans and meat-eaters alike, and it’s always a hit. Depending on the type of tofu you use and what you add to it, you can really get a very eggy scramble going: but without the cholesterol and saturated fat.

Try this recipe, and change it up depending on what you have on hand. Add some extra veg, some nutritional yeast, a dash of coconut milk… Make it your own!
