These savory oats with tofu scramble are the ultimate creamy, umami comfort food at its best, especially on colder spring mornings.

Equipment

  • Small pot for savory oats, cast iron pan for tofu scramble

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash (or about 3/4 cup total)
  • 1 oz rolled oats
  • 6 oz good veggie broth
  • 4 oz tofu
  • salt, to taste
  • few pinches turmeric powder
  • 1 pinch of Indian Black Salt (kala namak) ~ see notes below

Instructions
 

Make The Savory Oats

  • First, grate your carrot and finely chop the zucchini and yellow squash.
  • Next, add these to a pan with the oats, broth, and a pinch or two of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low about 5 minutes, making sure it doesn't stick. The oats should look bubbly, like a creamy oatmeal, and the vegetables should be relatively soft.

Make The Tofu Scramble

  • While the oatmeal is cooking, heat a cast iron skillet (or a regular skillet with some oil spray).
  • Add the tofu, turmeric, pinch of salt (or black salt) and stir as it cooks. The tofu scramble only takes a few minute to heat through and sear a little bit.
  • Lastly, combine the savory oats and eggs, and dive in.

Notes

Note: the indian black salt make the tofu really taste like eggs. You can find it here.
