Scrambled Tofu Spice Mix: Your Breakfast Game-Changer

Are you looking for an easy way to spice up your vegan breakfasts? This Scrambled Tofu Spice Mix will become your new best friend!

Pre-made and packed with flavor, it saves time while delivering the perfect "egg-like" taste, thanks to the magic of kala namak (black salt).

What is Kala Namak?

Kala namak, also known as black salt, is a volcanic rock salt commonly used in South Asian cuisine. Despite its name, its color is more pinkish-purple than black. What makes kala namak special is its sulfur-rich aroma, which closely resembles the taste of eggs. This unique characteristic makes it a must-have for vegan dishes like scrambled tofu, vegan omelets, or chickpea flour quiches.

Not only does it add an authentic eggy flavor, but kala namak is also packed with minerals, making it a flavorful and health-conscious choice for seasoning. You can find it in most Indian or specialty grocery stores, as well as online.

INGREDIENTS:

• ½ cup nutritional yeast
• 2 tbsp kala namak (black salt)
• 3 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp turmeric powder

Combine all the ingredients in an airtight jar, give it a good shake, and your mix is ready to use!

HOW TO USE THE MIX:

This spice mix is perfect for preparing scrambled tofu that’s savory, creamy, and reminiscent of scrambled eggs. Here's how:

1.Crumble the tofu: Take one block of firm or extra-firm tofu and crumble it with your hands into small, uneven pieces.
2.Sauté: Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan, then add the crumbled tofu. Sauté for a few minutes until lightly golden.
3.Season: Sprinkle 1 tbsp of the spice mix over the tofu and stir well.
4.Add creaminess: Pour in a small cup of plant-based milk (such as soy, almond, or oat) and stir until the tofu absorbs the liquid and becomes creamy.
5.Finish: Serve hot with a dash of freshly cracked black pepper on top for an extra kick.
