Absolutely, you can customise your tofu scramble with a variety of vegetables to suit your preferences or to use what’s on hand. Here are some alternative vegetables you can incorporate into your tofu scramble:
-
Mushrooms: Sliced mushrooms add a meaty texture and earthy flavor to the scramble.
-
Courgette: Diced zucchini brings a mild, slightly sweet taste and extra crunch.
-
Broccoli: Small broccoli florets provide a delightful crunch and a touch of bitterness.
-
Kale: Chopped kale leaves are nutrient-dense and add a hearty, slightly bitter flavor.
-
Red or Green Bell Pepper: or even Orange or Yellow.
-
Sweet Corn: Corn kernels bring a touch of sweetness and pop to the scramble.
-
Peas: Green peas are a classic addition, adding a bit of natural sweetness and color.
Feel free to mix and match these vegetables or use whatever you have in your kitchen. Tofu scrambles are wonderfully versatile, allowing you to create a new flavor experience with each variation.
Batch Cook – Storage Information
- Fridge:Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
- Reheat: When reheating, you can gently heat it in a pan or the microwave, adding a splash of water or vegetable broth to maintain its moisture and prevent it from drying out. Remember to adjust the seasoning if needed before serving the reheated tofu scramble.
- Freezer: It’s not recommended to freeze this dish. Freezing tofu can change its texture, making it crumbly and somewhat spongy upon thawing.

Breakfast Tofu Scramble
Ingredients
- 400g Firm Tofu
- 1 Red Bell Pepper [Sliced into large chunks]
- 1 Small Onion [Diced]
- 10 Cherry Tomatoes [Halved]
- 100g Fresh Spinach
- 2 Garlic Cloves [Crushed]
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Low calorie cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Begin by draining the tofu and pressing it to remove excess moisture. You can use a tofu press or place the tofu between paper towels with something heavy on top (like a pan) for about 15-20 minutes. Then crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork until it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.
- Sauté the Veggies: Heat some cooking spray in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, and sauté until they become soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Add the Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. These spices will give your tofu scramble a delightful flavor and a vibrant yellow color.
- Incorporate Tofu and Spinach: Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet, stirring to combine it with the sautéed veggies and spices. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors and develop a slightly crispy texture. During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, gently fold in the spinach.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the tofu scramble and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or spices if needed.
- Serve: Transfer the tofu scramble to serving plates, garnish with cherry tomatoes.
