Soft Tofu Scramble on Rye
Share
A plant-based take on scrambled eggs. Silken tofu broken into soft curds with turmeric, black salt (for that eggy flavour), and fresh chives. Piled onto dark rye bread, it's a savoury, protein-packed start to the day.
Ingredients (Serves 1):
- 150g silken tofu, drained
- ½ tsp turmeric
- A pinch of black salt (kala namak) if you have it, or sea salt
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
- A small knob of vegan butter or olive oil
- A handful of fresh chives, snipped
- 1 slice of dark rye or pumpernickel bread
Method:
- Melt the butter or oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Crumble the tofu directly into the pan.
- Sprinkle over the turmeric, salt, and nutritional yeast. Cook gently for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
- Stir in the chives. Pile onto toasted rye bread.
Why it's gut-friendly: Tofu is easy to digest and provides plant protein. Rye bread is rich in arabinoxylan fibre that feeds good bacteria.
