📋 Ingredients

Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

• Tofu: Firm (momen) or extra firm tofu, medium-firm tofu is preferred. If you like a dry texture of scramble, press tofu and remove the excess moisture.
• Bell pepper: I use green bell pepper, but you can use red bell pepper, green onions, fresh spinach, or any of your favorite vegetables in this recipe to add color and flavor.

Miso Paste

Miso paste is fermented soybean paste and a traditional Japanese condiment that adds complexity to any dish. Its unique umami flavor can transform simple dishes into something special.

It brings many health benefits for you as we have an old saying that eating miso every day keeps you away from a doctor.

Helpful Tips

• Opt for firm or extra-firm tofu for a scramble. Silken tofu is too soft and won't hold its shape well.
• If you prefer a firm texture in your scramble, wrap the tofu in a kitchen towel or paper towel and gently press it to remove the extra liquid. Click here to learn how to press the tofu.

What To Serve With

This vegan tofu scramble makes for a delicious breakfast and pairs perfectly with avocado toast, sautéed vegetables, and fresh fruit. However, if you want to try Japanese-inspired options to accompany it, here are some ideas:

• Miso soup: Start your meal with a bowl of warm and comforting miso soup. Its savory flavor and light texture complement the tofu scramble well.
• Steamed rice: Serve the tofu scramble with a side of steamed Japanese rice. Its neutral taste and fluffy texture provide a good balance to the flavors of the scramble.
