This Tofu scrambled egg is one of the best vegan alternatives for scrambled eggs in my opinion! I love how close it is to “real” egg. I’ve tried a lot of scrambled eggs with firm tofu and they tasted great, but silken tofu just makes it personally so much more “eggy” and furthermore it is high in protein and with simple ingredients. It’s perfect on a bagel or in a sandwich for a healthy breakfast or brunch.
Basic Health facts
Tofu contains calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, folic acid plus a whole range of vitamins. Tofu provides us with a lot of protein, which is very similar to animal protein and is therefore an ideal source of protein. Tofu has hardly any calories, is absolutely free of cholesterol and extremely low in fat.

Servings: 1 Sandwich
Calories: 555kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large white onion
- 2 gloves Garlic
- 400 g silken tofu
- ½ tsp Curcuma
- ⅓ tsp paprika powder
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 3 pinches salt
- ⅓ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Finely dice a white onion and chop the 2 garlic gloves finely as well.
- Drain your silken tofu (just a little bit- it doesn't have to be completely "try")
- Heat some olive oil in a pan and add the onion and garlic (step 1) and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add the block of silken tofu and fry it on high temperature for another 3 minutes. Then add ½ tsp curcuma, ⅓ tsp paprika powder, 2tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp nutritunal yeast, ⅓tsp of pepper and around 3 pinches of salt and strir well so everything is combined.
- Reduce the heat to medium and let it fry for around 10 minutes. Stir well again and again during this time. If the vegab scrambled egg doesn't have a consisdency like scrambled egg, let it cook for longer.
- In the meantime, cut a few slices of wholegrain bread, wash the green salad and thinly slice your cucumber. When your vegan scrambled egg has the consistency you want put the green salad on a slice of bread. Put the vegan scrambled eggs and a few slices of cucumber on top. Finally, place a second slice of bread on top and voila: done!
