Vegan Tofu Omelet
A vegan or fasting diet often comes with the challenge of finding reliable sources of calcium and protein. Natural tofu stands out as a top choice, offering low calories, high protein, calcium, and essential minerals like selenium—all while being entirely plant-based and free of cholesterol.
The key to enjoying tofu lies in how you prepare it. While its neutral taste may seem unappealing at first, this quality makes it incredibly versatile. By following this recipe, you’ll transform tofu into a delicious dish reminiscent of a classic egg omelet. Even picky eaters like Sofia, who usually prefer traditional omelets, won’t notice the difference!
This recipe is perfect for anyone committed to healthy eating, vegetarians, or those observing fasting periods. It’s a must-try for a wholesome and flavorful meal.

Step by step
Step 1
Start with neutral-tasting natural tofu, perfect for creating a versatile omelet base.
Step 2
Using a fork, gently mash the tofu to break it down.
Step 3
Peel and finely chop the onion. Sauté it in a pan with half a glass of water and 1 tablespoon of oil.
Cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Add the mashed tofu to the pan with the softened onion.
Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Cook the mixture for 5–10 minutes, allowing any excess liquid to evaporate.
The final texture will resemble a crumbled omelet rather than the cohesive texture of a traditional one.
Step 6
Add the curry powder, dried herbs, and salt.
Stir thoroughly and let the mixture simmer for another 2–3 minutes.
Step 7
Your tofu omelet is ready! Enjoy it warm or cold.
For variety, try adding vegetables like mushrooms, peppers, or tomatoes after your first attempt.
Good appetite!
