My first attempt at a Tofu Scramble was a combination of recipes that I found online. Turning a block of tofu into “scrambled eggs” isn’t exactly common sense for someone who’s never done it before so I needed some help.

Some of the recipes were good, but the instructions were really lacking. The cooks who wrote them take for granted that new plant-based eaters need everything explained. That’s what I’ll aim to do here. If anything is confusing, please let me know so I can fix it.

If you serve this delicious tofu scramble to someone and don’t tell them it’s tofu, I doubt they’ll know. It looks and tastes just like scrambled eggs. I like to put some salsa on mine with a side of oven roasted red potatoes and a glass of unsweetened cashew milk. Very tasty.

The turmeric is the key to the scrambled eggs color. A half a teaspoon is all you need for a standard block of tofu. Any more and the tofu scramble is too yellow. Any less and it’s not yellow enough.

Indian or Himalayan Black Salt is another vegan trick ingredient to simulate an egg taste and smell. It contains sulfur and actually smells like hard boiled eggs. Indian Black Salt is different than Hawaiian Black Salt or Black Lava Salt so you can’t interchange the two.
