Steps
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat (I prefer a cast iron pan, or non-stick). Mash the block of tofu right in the pan, with a potato masher or a fork. You can also crumble it into the pan with your hands. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until the water from the tofu is mostly gone.
Now add the nutritional yeast, salt, turmeric and garlic powder. Cook and stir constantly for about 5 minutes. Continue to cook for longer, not stirring for a few minutes at a time, until golden spots form on some of the tofu. This is a personal preference but I prefer some golden spots and a longer cook time.
Pour the non-dairy milk into the pan, and stir to mix. Serve immediately with sliced avocado, hot sauce, parsley, steamed kale, toast or any other breakfast item.

Reviews
JKL on 2026-09-23 (5 stars): I just want to say how much I appreciate you and your recipes. Not only do you have fabulous baked goods, but you have simple, delicious recipes that busy people can make in one pot with minimal fuss or clean-up, which is very different from many other vegan chefs, who make being vegan so intimidating it actually dissuades people from veganism. I love tofu scramble, but before your recipe, I would laboriously press the tofu, mix everything in a separate bowl, make a separate sauce etc. Now it's just chopping an onion or shallot and a few shiitakes, and mixing and sauteeing it all in one pan. What you do is such a service- so many people think cooking has to be laborious and perfect and involve fifty steps- you make it simple, easy, and delicious. Thank you.
April on 2026-09-06 (5 stars): This is my first time trying scrambled tofu eggs and this recipe was delicious!
John W on 2026-08-22 (5 stars): This is the easiest one pot scrambled tofu to make. Don’t skimp on the black salt, add some chilli flakes and oregano for a bit of extra zing. Use the left over scramble in a vegan fried rice dish.
Anouk on 2026-08-21 (5 stars): This was soooooo good! I just couldn't stop eating.😋 Thank you Nora for another great recipe!
Joe on 2026-08-16 (5 stars): So easy, and so delicious!
I added a couple of fistfuls of fresh baby spinach leaves.
For sure, we'll return to this one again!
Elysummers on 2026-08-03 (5 stars): I love this recipe. Today I added potates, red pepper and onions. It was still fabulous.
Etoile de nuit on 2026-07-30 (5 stars): A couple reasons I love this recipe: it's not fussy, it's easy to make and it's delicious! Other recipes seems unnecessarily complicated. Thanks Nora!
Jess on 2026-07-12 (5 stars): Just made for our vegan niece and anyone else at our bagel breakfast to try! Looks, smells and tastes delicious! Thank you, Norah.
