The Best Tofu Scramble
If you’ve ever had a tofu scramble that turned into a dry, crumbly pile or the opposite, a hot, watery mess, this one is for you. This version is soft, creamy, and lightly spongy, with a texture that genuinely resembles real scrambled eggs. The secret lies in using firm tofu paired with a creamy, well-balanced sauce. Many tofu scrambles rely on tofu alone, but to recreate the richness of classic scrambled eggs, which are traditionally cooked with butter and sometimes milk or cream, you need a touch of plant-based fat. That’s what brings everything together. The eggy sauce in this recipe is made with tahini and full-fat oat milk, then gently folded through pan-fried tofu. The result is a luxurious, comforting consistency that feels indulgent without being heavy, the kind of scramble that satisfies on a deeper level. One ingredient that truly elevates this dish is kala namak. Also known as Indian or Himalayan black salt, it has a naturally sulfurous, umami-rich flavour that closely mimics the taste of egg yolk. It’s not an everyday pantry staple, so you’ll find extra notes in the Ingredients section on how to use it and where to find it. This scramble is incredibly versatile. It’s high in plant-based protein and works beautifully in breakfast burritos, tacos, bowls, or simply served with toast and avocado. And while it’s perfect for breakfast, there’s no reason to stop there. A scramble this nourishing and satisfying fits just as well at lunch or dinner.

YOUR DIGESTION STARTS BEFORE THE FIRST BITE
Believe it or not, digestion begins before you take your first bite. The sight, smell, and even anticipation of food can stimulate saliva and activate digestive enzymes. This is called the 'cephalic phase' of digestion. Take a mindful moment before meals—look at your plate, smell the ingredients, and breathe deeply. This simple practice prepares your gut and enhances your overall digestion experience.
