Soft Silken Tofu ‘Egg’ Scramble with Black Salt (Vegan)

It’s even faster and easier to make this delicious vegan scrambled eggs recipe than normal scrambled eggs.  Using Silken tofu gives this tofu scramble a softer consistency.

If you’re looking for a vegan alternative to scrambled eggs, you’re in the right place.

Using silken tofu to make scrambled ‘eggs’ gives your scramble a much softer consistency. 

This recipe is delicious whether or not you use silken tofu or firm tofu. 

The best thing about this recipe is it takes just 1 minute to throw everything into the pan and cooks very quickly between 5 and 15 minutes depending on the consistency you like. 

Unlike real scrambled eggs, it’s almost impossible to overcook this recipe so it’s very forgiving. 

I like to get this recipe to the consistency that I like, then turn off the heat, prepare the rest of my meal and give the tofu scramble a blast of heat again just before serving. 

This recipe goes amazingly well with a full vegan English cooked breakfast.  I often cook a full English as this is one of the very few recipes that my whole family will eat (fussy kids).

I also added some vegan cheese to give this recipe the extra wow factor, but you can leave that out and the recipe will be just as tasty.
