Caramelize the Onions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes until deeply golden and soft. If they begin to stick, add a splash of water. Reduce heat to low if needed.
Prepare the Tofu Base
While the onions cook, crumble the silken tofu into a bowl using your hands or a fork into irregular, bite-sized pieces. In a separate small bowl, whisk one whole egg plus one yolk (reserve the remaining white for another use) with a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy.
Combine and Cook
Push the caramelized onions to one side of the skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and the minced garlic (if using). Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the diced tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes until they start to soften. Add the crumbled tofu and turmeric (if using); stir to combine. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through.
Finish with Egg
Create a well in the center of the tofu mixture. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the well and let it set for 30 seconds, then gently scramble it into the tofu and vegetables. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the egg is just set but still creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
