Easy Scramble Seasoning Mix and the Best Ever Tofu Scramble
Description
The recipe starts with a homemade scramble seasoning combining nutritional yeast, kala namak (sulfur black salt), turmeric, garlic and onion powders, black pepper, and paprika. This mix is blended into firm tofu along with water or unsweetened non-dairy milk to create a smooth, creamy consistency that mimics eggs. Vegetables such as red bell peppers and green onions are sautéed for sweetness and texture before adding the blended tofu mixture and crumbled tofu that cooks and absorbs the seasonings.
The turmeric provides a yellow hue while kala namak offers the characteristic egg-like flavor. The scramble is cooked until homogeneous and evenly colored, with texture from the tofu crumbles and softened vegetables. Garnishing with fresh green onions or cilantro adds freshness and visual appeal.
This tofu scramble is a versatile, satisfying dish suitable for those avoiding eggs or seeking a plant-based breakfast. The seasoning mix can be stored and used in other recipes. The scramble can be adjusted in creaminess by varying water or plant milk quantities, and additional vegetables can be added based on preference.
Unpressurized firm tofu is used; it can be crumbled by hand, fork, or masher for texture.Adding soaked cashews during blending increases creaminess and richness of the scramble.Cook vegetables requiring longer time before adding tofu; quick-cook vegetables like spinach can be added later.Without a blender, substitute with nondairy cream or yogurt and a splash of water for a creamy texture.The scramble seasoning can be stored sealed for up to 2 months for convenience.

Instructions
- Scramble seasoning: To make the scramble seasoning, mix everything in a bowl and set aside or store in a sealed glass bottle for up to 2 months.
- To make the tofu scramble, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil then add the vegetables and cook until they are golden on some edges.
- Slice the tofu block and take about a quarter of the tofu block. Add to a blender. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons seasoning and a 1/4 cup of water and blend until smooth.
- You might need more water. Add 1-2 tablespoons at a time and blend until it's super creamy. You can also use 3 oz silken tofu instead of the firm tofu for the eggy mix
- Then add this creamy mixture to the skillet then mix well.
- When it's just about to boil, add the crumbled up rest of the block of the tofu and mix well.
- Cook until the mixture is homogenous and the tofu is evenly colored with yellow. Taste and adjust salt and flavor. Take off heat

Notes
- Use firm tofu that does not require pressing and crumble it by hand, fork, or potato masher for varied texture.
- Add 4-5 soaked raw cashews to the tofu blend to enhance creaminess and richness.
- Add vegetables needing longer cooking times like mushrooms and peppers before tofu; quick-cooking veggies like spinach can be added with the tofu.
- If a blender is unavailable, substitute with three tablespoons nondairy cream or yogurt plus water, adjusting for consistency.
- Store the homemade scramble seasoning in a sealed container for up to two months for future use.
