Can I use silken tofu?

Silken tofu can be used but will result in a creamier, custard-like consistency. It won’t hold the “curd” shape that firm tofu provides, so it’s best for a different style of tofu scramble, more like a soft scramble or sauce base.

How to make it oil-free?

To cook without oil, use a non-stick pan and a splash of vegetable broth or water to sauté the vegetables and tofu. Keep the heat moderate and stir often to prevent sticking. You’ll still get great flavor if your spices are bold and layered.

Can I prep it ahead of time?

Yes! You can crumble and season your tofu the night before, or cook the entire scramble in advance. Reheat in a pan with a splash of plant milk in the morning. It’s a smart meal prep choice that fits well into any weekday schedule.
