Ingredients

  • 14 oz extra firm tofu
  • salt adjust to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • curry leaves or fresh cilantro a few or ½ teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  • Drain the water from toful block and place the tofu in a large skillet or frying pan.
  • Using a good quality spatula, break the tofu block so as to make scrambled tofu.
  • Once the tofu is srambled, add salt, and turmeric powder, stir well and cook in medium heat until the water is evaporated.
  • Stir fry the scrambled tofu for another 2 to 3 minutes until the tofu is lightly browned and cooked to your liking. If using curry leaves or cilantro or parsley, add this too and mix well. Keep this prepared tofu scramble aside.
  • To prepare the eggs, whisk the eggs in a bowl, add the dried minced onions and also little salt and stir the mixture well.
  • Heat a different frying pan which is large in size (because we will add the scrambled tofu also to this pan later) and add the egg mixture (make sure to grease the pan with oil or butter if necessary).
  • Let it cook for a couple of minutes in low heat, until the mixture begins to set.
  • Using a good spatula, gently scramble the eggs. If you prefer soft eggs, you can add tofu to the scrambled eggs at this point or if you want to brown the eggs a bit, you may cook for another one more minute or so until you get the right consistency for your scrambled eggs.

To make scrambled tofu with eggs:

  • Add the prepared tofu scramble to the scrambled eggs and stir well to combine.
    If you do not want to add all the scrambled tofu, you may add the amount of tofu based on your preference and store the remaining for later use to make more tofu scrambled eggs or other dishes as you like.
  • Also add the garlic powder, black pepper powder and oil to the tofu egg scramble, mix again so the seasoning is evenly mixed with the dish.
  • Stir fry the scrambled tofu and eggs for a couple of minutes until the flavors are well blended. I prefer the scrambled tofu and eggs to be a little browned, so if you also like that texture, you can stir fry a bit more for the lightly browned texture.
  • Once it is done, transfer to serving dishes and enjoy it while it's still hot for the best results!

Notes

You can also add more seasoning like more black pepper powder, dried parsley leaves, red chili flakes etc if you wish, to make the tofu egg scramble even more delicious and flavorful!
