Ingredients

Scramble Seasoning

1 - 3 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tsp Turmeric

TOFU SCRAMBLE

14 - 16 oz Block of Soft, Medium Firm or Firm Tofu (See Notes)
1 - 3 tsp Scramble Seasoning
2 - 8 Tbsp Unsweetened Vegan Yogurt, Vegan Cream Cheese, or Vegan Mayo (See Notes)
Black Salt (to taste)
Chopped Fresh Chives (optional)

Instructions

To make the scramble seasoning, simply combine the ingredients in a jar or air-tight container. I like to blend these in a spice grinder as I find the flavor to intensify, but that is optional.
Heat up a non-stick pan or well seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat. Crumble the block of tofu into the pan, making the pieces as large or small as you like. You can also mash them with a potato masher as well.
Cook the tofu for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Then season with 1 - 3 tsp of the Scramble Seasoning. Adding more if you like.
Next add in as much Vegan Mayo, Cream Cheese or Unsweetened Yogurt as you like. I usually put in about 1/3 cup or so. But start with a couple tablespoons and add more until it's at the consistency that you like.
Stir in any other seasonings that you like. I will do some more black pepper, and chopped fresh chives.
Turn off the heat, and salt with a couple dashes of black salt, adding more as you see fit.
Serve immediately with toast, in a breakfast taco or burrito, or anyway you like!

Notes

What Tofu is Best? This really depends on your own personal preference. I thought I used to like Super Firm, but now that I've had a Soft and Medium Firm Tofu Scramble, I realize I like those much better!

So basically, go with your gut! If you want a softer scramble, use soft or medium firm tofu. For something firmer, go with Firm, and for something even firmer, go with Extra or even Super Firm tofu!

Vegan Mayo, Cream Cheese or Yogurt - I used to recommend adding Vegan Mayo or Cream Cheese to add in some fat and richness, and those are still good for a tofu scramble. But recently I've really been digging adding some kind of tangy yogurt. I really like the Forager Brand or Trader Joe's Yogurt!
