Once again, I did not cook a single meal this week because of travel for the 3rd wedding I’ve attended in 3 weeks. Luckily, The Rockin Vegan has some amazing tofu scramble recipes he’s willing to share!
Tofu scramble? Huh?!
Surprisingly, tofu + tumeric = a delicious scrambled egg substitute! Because cruelty in the egg industry is absolutely horrendous, I leave eggs off my plate. Not only is tofu scramble more humane, but it’s also cholesterol free and better for the environment.
“When I first started seriously considering vegetarianism and researching the food industry, eggs was one of the first things to go from my diet. I’m not here to preach, but the way they discard the male chicks in hatcheries (see here if you’re curious) shows such a complete disregard for the beauty of life and the spirit of nature. Animal cruelty is just a very small part of why I went veg, but this left quite an impression on me – and eggs almost immediately lost their appeal.” – The Rockin Vegan
So, without further ado, check out The Rockin Vegan’s Hearty Tofu Scramble and Vegan Huevos con Chorizo.
Here’s my take on the Hearty Tofu Scramble with zucchini, bell pepper, spinach, and tomato, and a side of Gimme Lean vegetarian breakfast sausage.
Ingredients
1 block extra-firm tofu (Frim would also work, but do NOT use soft or silken tofu for this.)
1 tsp tumeric
Your favorite veggies
Directions
1. Crumble the tofu in a pan and add the tumeric and chopped veggies. Cook until veggies are to desired softness. It’s that easy!

Isn’t it wonderful? I love blessing my omnivore friends with this – it’s always a hit. And, eggs – all that I’ve read about prolapsed chicken uteruses and wasted life just breaks my heart. Thank you so much for reposting – love the community vibe… Cheers and keep up the great work!
