Tofu Scramble (Black Salt)

Ingredients

• 1 block firm tofu (Drain and press.)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp nutritional yeast
• 1.5 tsp kala namak (black salt)
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.75 tsp garlic powder
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Drain and press the tofu block.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the nutritional yeast, kala namak, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper to make the scramble seasoning.

3. 3

   Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet or pan over medium-low heat.

4. 4

   Crumble the tofu carefully into the pan. Use a rubber spatula to break it up further until it has a scrambled-egg-like texture; a potato masher can also help.

5. 5

   Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the tofu scramble seasoning over the tofu. Stir to coat it completely, then cook for about 7–10 minutes, stirring often.

6. 6

   Sprinkle another ½ tablespoon of seasoning over the tofu and stir to coat. Cook for another minute or two.

7. 7

   Remove the scramble from the heat and taste it. If you want more flavor, stir in another ½ tablespoon of seasoning before serving.

Notes

The seasoning blend is made from the listed seasoning ingredients; the method uses 1 tablespoon, then ½ tablespoon, with an optional additional ½ tablespoon. The source does not specify what to do with any leftover seasoning. For a drier texture, the body text suggests cooking the scramble longer until it reaches the desired consistency.
