Ingredients

For the Tofu Scramble

  • 14-16 oz tofu, super firm or extra firm, (454g)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 of a sweet onion, diced, (1/2 cup)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk, (120ml)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp black salt, (also called Kala Namak)
  • 1/8 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 cup vegan cheddar shreds, (50g), or use 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

For the Sandwich

  • 6 Englilsh muffins, halved, toasted, (or bread, buns, etc.)
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter, softened
  • 1 avocado, mashed
  • 6 vegan cheese slices
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sprouts or micro-greens, (45g)

Instructions

  • Drain the tofu block and press it for 15 minutes. You can use a tofu press for this, or simply wrap it in a lint-free kitchen towel and put something heavy on it, such as a cast-iron pan.
  • Make the egg sauce by whisking together the plant milk, salt, pepper, black salt, and turmeric in a small bowl.
  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Then, add the oil, onions, and garlic. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes or until they’re soft.
  • Add the egg sauce, vegan cheese shreds, and tofu to the pan. Break the tofu into smaller pieces and stir everything together. Stir occasionally until most of the excess liquid has cooked off and the vegan cheese has melted (10 minutes).
  • To assemble: toast your English muffins and add vegan butter to the insides of each slice. Spread avocado on one side, then ⅓ cup of the scramble, chives, a pinch of greens, and sliced vegan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate the scrambled tofu for 5 days or keep it in the freezer for 3 months. Reheat it in the microwave from refrigerated or frozen at 30-second intervals. Assemble your sandwiches and enjoy!
