Scrambled Tofu

Earlier on i was at a friend's place and i was jst browsin through for some recipes and i saw Scrambled Tofu, the site i was in was a Vegetarian and Vegan site and therefore the name Scrambled Tofu instead of Scrambled Egg.

I didnt click on it but i was curious on how would tofu taste like in a scrambled form. And my opportunity came when ive some tofu in the fridge and mom was outta ideas on wht she wanna cook. 

So i took the liberty to experiment with the ideas i have in mind. First, cut the Japanese egg tofu into 2cms of thickness and boil it. If you don’t like the smell of eggs in the tofu you can replaced it with the soy tofu for this recipe. Remove and let it cool in a bowl and roughly break it with a fork to look like scrambled egg. 

To make the sauce, i prepared some minced garlic, sliced red onions, chopped red bell pepper, cubed carrots, turmeric powder, cayenne powder, chicken stock granules, chopped coriander leaves, salt and sugar. 

Stir-fry the minced garlic and sliced red onions and when its golden brown, add in the cubed carrots then the red bell pepper. Add in some water and let it simmer then put in the scrambled tofu and season with turmeric and cayenne to your liking and lastly add in chicken stock granules, sugar n salt to taste.

Before you dish out, add in the chopped coriander leaves and give it a quick stir and serve while its hot. Since I was preparing it for the whole family, it wasn’t as spicy as I would want it to be. It will definitely taste better if there were more cayenne pepper powder in it.

  1. Tofu Scramble is a staple of mine. Perhaps one fine day I will be able to cook them for you.

    Yours looks amazing and I am glad you got it right without even looking at pictures or trying them before.

    You are amazing, that's what you are!
