Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Black salt (Kala Namak)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 6 ounces Plant-based smoked ham slices
- 2 tablespoons Chopped chives
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels, then crumble it with your hands or a fork until it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown slightly.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, black salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast over the tofu. Stir everything well to coat the tofu evenly with the spices.
Continue to cook the tofu for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it's heated through and resembles scrambled eggs. Adjust the seasoning if necessary and remove from heat. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in another skillet over medium heat.
Lay the plant-based smoked ham slices in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side until they are heated and slightly crispy.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet with the ham slices. Sauté them for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
To serve, distribute the tofu scramble among the plates, and top evenly with the crispy smoked ham slices and sautéed cherry tomatoes.
Garnish with chopped chives and a pinch of salt, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your vegetarian classic ham and eggs.
