I don’t know about you, but there’s something magical about kicking the weekend off with a hearty tofu scramble with all of the fixings.
Fluffy pillows of tofu, seasoned to perfection and served with a side of toast or fruit…mmm…my mouth is watering just thinking about. This recipe for our go-to scramble is one that we make pretty much all of the time. It’s ready in minutes, packed with veggies, protein, and of course, tastes super delicious, too.
The beauty of the tofu scramble is that it is totally customizable to taste, preference, and let’s be honest…using up random items in the fridge! For our tofu scramble, we always like to add zucchini, onions, mushrooms, and black beans. For seasoning, turmeric for color is a must! Also loads of nutritional yeast helps bring the flavor together.
Our *secret* ingredient is kala namak aka black salt, which we top the scramble with once it’s finished. It provides the dish with a perfect eggy taste (as it is high in sulfur) that brings this dish to the next level and will fool all of your omnivore friends!
We also wanted to do a really quick shoutout to Linen Me. They sent us a few of their linen tea towels to try out for our food photography and to put it in simple terms, we are OBSESSED! These tea towels really bring our photos to the next level and help us add a new element to our styling that we were not able to include before. Plus, all of their products are sustainably produced with an environmentally-friendly fabric that requires fewer resources to grow and process AND are biodegradable! If you are a food photographer, foodie, or just someone that would appreciate some good tea towels (or linens in general), check them out!

An easy take on tofu scramble made with black beans, bell peppers, mushrooms, garlic, and onions. Seasoned to perfection with nutritional yeast, turmeric, and black salt, this recipe is sure to be your new favorite!
Ingredients
1 block extra firm tofu, drained and pressed (learn how here)
Once cooked, push the contents of the pan to the side of the pan and add in the nutritional yeast. Toast over medium heat for about 1 minute, mixing often to prevent burning.
Add in the remaining seasonings except for the kala namak and mix until uniform. Using clean hands, finely crumble the tofu into the pan and mix well until all of the tofu is coated.
Add in the black beans and mix through. Cook for 3-5 minutes more, or until the egg mixture has dried out to your desired consistency. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Remove the scramble from heat and mix in the kala namak. Serve warm and enjoy!
