Étapes

Crumble the tofu

Pat the tofu dry with a clean tea towel, then crumble it into a bowl with your fingers into uneven, bite-sized pieces, like scrambled egg.

400g firm tofu

✅ C'est prêt quand : tofu is broken into uneven, bite-sized crumbs

Soften the onion

Heat the oil in a medium (20cm/8in) frying pan over medium heat and cook the onion for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft and lightly golden. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, stirring so it does not burn.

History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 United States (from Chinese and Japanese tofu traditions)📅 1970s🍳 US

Tofu has been made in China for well over a thousand years, but it only reached most American kitchens in the 1970s, when vegetarian communities and cookbooks — notably those of The Farm in Tennessee and The Book of Tofu (1975) — showed home cooks how to use it.

Scrambled tofu quickly became the plant-based answer to scrambled eggs, and today it is a fixture of vegan cafés and brunch menus around the world.

⭐ Why It's Famous

It's fast, cheap and high in protein, and with the right spices it convincingly hits the comfort notes of a classic egg breakfast.

💡 Fun Fact

Kala namak, a volcanic rock salt from South Asia, contains sulphur compounds that smell remarkably like cooked egg yolk — the secret to an 'eggy' scramble.
