Notes
Note: Nutrition facts are an estimate.
- Silken tofu does not require pressing. It is delicate, so handle with care.
- If you prefer a "harder" scramble, use regular firm tofu.
- Be sure to drain any water from your tofu before adding it to the skillet. Some silken tofu comes in water, some does not, so it depends on the type that you have.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the skillet.
- If you have it add a ¼ teaspoon of kala namak, black salt. It will give your scramble an egg-y flavor.
- Add 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
