This Vegan Scrambled Tofu is one of my favourite recipe.
It’s kind of crazy how much this tofu dish looks and tastes like scrambled eggs. Don’t get me wrong, I love eggs, but when I am trying to get more plant-based protein, this recipe hits the spot. Hot sauce of Sriracha is a must for me when I eat this scramble, but if you prefer yours milder, just skip the hot sauce and add a pinch more salt. This is great alone or served with home fries, on toast, or in a breakfast burrito.

I would say it lasts about 3 days in the fridge. After that it gets a little funny. But honestly it doesn’t make a lot so I can’t imagine it will last that long! Double the recipe for the whole family or to have breakfast for a couple of days.How long does tofu scramble last in the fridge
- Extra-Firm Tofu 1 Package
- Red Onion ¼ Cup
- Red bell pepper ¼ Cup
- Diced Seeded Jalapenos ¼ Cup
- Ground Turmeric ½ Teaspoon
- Sweet Paprika ¼ Teaspoon
- A few dashes hot sauce or Sriracha (Optional)
- Cut the tofu into 4 blocks. Use a paper towel to soak up some of the liquid from the tofu. Using your hands, squeeze the tofu through your fingers until it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeños and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tofu and season with 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, the turmeric, paprika, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring well so that the seasoning evenly coats the tofu, until the tofu is heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Divide the scramble between two plates and serve topped with hot sauce or Sriracha, if desired.
Fantastic recipe so simple but so good, the texture is perfect! I purchased the salt to get the true flavor of eggs, the day before I had some mushrooms that needed to be cooked right away so I sautéed mushrooms and one onion and kept it in the refrigerator for a day. When I was ready to cook the tofu, I followed the recipe when it was almost done I added the cooked mushrooms and onions to it tossed well topped with a tad of cheese, and popped it in the oven to melt. The best vegetable tofu scrambled I ever had! I didn’t even miss the eggs it was even better. I served it with vegetables potatoes, and ash, I will save this for sure when I have brunch, It is so close to recreating scrambled eggs. Thank you
