Tofu Scramble (With Black Salt + Nutritional Yeast)

A savory, protein‑rich breakfast that tastes like comfort but supports steady blood sugar, balanced hormones, and calm energy. The black salt adds that classic “eggy” flavor, while shiitakes bring umami and minerals

Ingredients (2 servings)

1 block organic firm tofu, drained and patted dry
1 cup fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2–3 scallions, thinly sliced (white + green parts separated)
1–2 tbsp nutritional yeast
¼–½ tsp black salt (kala namak) — sulfur‑rich, for eggy flavor
¼ tsp turmeric (optional, for color + anti‑inflammatory benefits)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Sea salt + black pepper to taste
1–2 tbsp olive oil, avocado oil, or ghee
Optional: a splash of coconut aminos or tamari for depth

Why This Recipe Works for Blood Sugar + Hormones

Tofu = steady, plant‑based protein
Shiitakes = minerals + immune support
Black salt = sulfur‑rich, supports detox pathways
Nutritional yeast = B vitamins for energy + metabolism
Scallions = prebiotic fibers for gut health

Instructions:

1. Prep the tofu

Crumble the tofu into a bowl using your hands or a fork. Aim for medium‑sized chunks, not too fine, not too big. Sprinkle with turmeric (if using) to give it that golden “scramble” color.

2. Saute the shiitakes

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and the white parts of the scallions. Cook 4–6 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Season with a pinch of sea salt.
