Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (approximately 14 oz) Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Kala namak (black salt)
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 0.5 medium, chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Start by preparing the tofu. Open the tofu block and drain any excess water. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and gently press it to remove extra moisture. Crumble the tofu into small, uneven pieces to mimic scrambled eggs.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu to the pan.
Stir in nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, kala namak, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the tofu.
Cook the tofu for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly golden. Set aside.
In a separate saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well.
Add the dried basil, dried oregano, sugar, and salt to the tomato mixture. Stir to combine.
Simmer the tomato sauce on low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the tomato sauce is ready, assemble the dish by placing a portion of scrambled tofu on a plate and topping it with a generous spoonful of tomato sauce.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Vegan Scrambled Eggs with Tomato Sauce!
