Ingredients

Scale

Tofu Scramble Base

  • 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 cup spinach or kale

Sandwich Components

  • 2 slices plant-based sandwich bread or 1 English muffin
  • 2–3 slices avocado or 1–2 slices vegan cheese

Optional Variations and Additions

  • Chili flakes or hot sauce (for spicy kick)
  • Sun-dried tomatoes, olives, fresh basil (Mediterranean twist)
  • Smoked paprika or chipotle powder (smoky flavor)
  • Cooked beans or tempeh (protein boost)
  • Gluten-free bread or wraps (gluten-free option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Drain the tofu and press it gently with a towel to remove excess moisture; then crumble it into bite-sized pieces resembling scrambled eggs.
  2. Sauté the Veggies: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small splash of oil. Toss in diced onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Cook the Tofu Scramble: Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet with vegetables, then sprinkle turmeric, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5-7 minutes until everything is heated through and well-mixed.
  4. Prepare the Bread: Toast your choice of sandwich bread or English muffins until golden and crisp to add a satisfying crunch and prevent sogginess.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread avocado or vegan cheese on the toasted bread, layer with tofu scramble, and optional greens. Top with the other slice and press gently to hold everything together.

Notes

  • Press the tofu properly to remove extra water and improve texture.
  • Use fresh turmeric and garlic powder for vibrant flavors.
  • Toast the bread well to add texture and seal in moisture.
  • Customize seasoning by adjusting salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast to taste.
  • Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
