Vegan Omelet with Black Salt
by Alex Fernandes
This Vegan Omelet with Black Salt is a delicious, plant-based twist on the classic French omelet, which has been a staple of French cuisine for centuries. Traditionally made with beaten eggs and butter, the French omelet is known for its soft, creamy texture and delicate flavor. In this vegan adaptation, firm tofu and kala namak (black salt) come together to mimic the classic "eggy" taste and texture, with turmeric adding a beautiful golden color. Serve with avocado and toast for a satisfying, protein-packed breakfast that honors the French roots while embracing a global, plant-based approach!

Method
- Mash the tofu with a fork until it has small pieces, like "scrambled eggs."
- In a bowl, mix the soy milk, nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, and black salt. Whisk well until it forms a smooth sauce.
- Heat the olive oil or vegan butter in a skillet and add the mashed tofu. Let it brown slightly for a few minutes.
- Add the sauce to the tofu in the skillet and mix well, allowing the tofu to absorb all the flavor.
- Cook until the tofu is well heated and at the texture you prefer—drier or more moist, depending on your taste.
- Finish with black pepper and chopped chives on top. Serve with avocado slices or toast for a complete breakfast!
