Tofu is a great source of Protein and Calcium that you can easily include in your daily diet. It is a soy-based food that’s made from curdling soya milk and forming it into a solid block. Tofu is a popular plant-based protein option that’s eaten around the world, particularly in East Asia. Many people consider tofu as a healthy meat replacement.
Scrambled Tofu is very easy and quick to make. It is a very simple high-protein dish that can be ready in a short period of time. You can serve this for breakfast or brunch. This scrambled tofu tastes a lot like scrambled eggs! You can add additional spices of your choice like Jeera or Turmeric, or anything else you’d use on your regular scrambled eggs. To make this vegan breakfast taste even more like real eggs, you can also add black salt (kala namak) or nutritional yeast. Just be careful with using black salt, as it has a very strong flavour, and never replace regular salt with it, just use it as an additional spice.
Even if you’re a meat-eater, there are a lot of dishes that use tofu, so you might want to check this one out!
