Ingredients for this Soft Tofu Scramble

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

Silken Tofu – a soft and mild tofu which mimics the texture of traditional scrambled eggs when it’s mashed.
Extra virgin olive oil
Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet!
Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily!
Chili Powder: for a really nice flavor in this scramble- the chili powder isn’t spicy but will give you a rich and bright flavor.
Nutritional Yeast: not to be confused with bread baking yeast, nutritional yeast has a cheesy nutty umami flavor which is great in all kinds of dishes.
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Veggie Toppings of Choice! I used kale and avocado for this recipe.

How Do I Make This High Protein Tofu Breakfast Sandwich?

In a frying pan, mash the tofu with a fork and begin to sauté over low heat.
Add the olive oil, turmeric, chili powder, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast. Saute on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring well to combine. Taste, and add salt and pepper if desired.
Add scramble onto toast or a bagel, toss with some vegetables, or just eat by itself… it’s great any way!
