Calories: 113kcal
Ingredients
- 1 carton firm silken tofu drained ( about 12 oz) *
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder optional
- pinch of black salt aka kala namak (can be substituted with regular salt)
- cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Drain silken tofu from its container, and gently pat dry using some kitchen paper. Dice them into 1.5-2 inch cubes.
- Heat up some oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Transfer tofu cubes to the pan, and cook for 3-4 minutes, undisturbed, until they are nicely browned on the bottom.
- Gently flip them over using a flexible spatula and repeat until most sides are golden brown, and water stops seeping out from the tofu.
- Add nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, and turmeric to the pan, and gently stir the mixture until everything is well combined. Break apart larger chunks of tofu, if any.
- Remove from heat, and season with black salt and pepper. Your silken tofu scramble is ready to be served.
Notes
*Silken tofu – Use extra-firm or firm silken tofu for the best texture, though soft tofu works too. You can find it in most grocery stores or online.
