Why These Ingredients

Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips

Notes:

Turmeric is the ingredient that gives tofu scramble its yellow “egg-like” color. It has a mild flavor in small amounts — don’t skip it.

Black salt (kala namak) can be added to this mix if you want a more eggy flavor from the sulfur compounds.

Tips:

Use 1 tsp per 1 block of tofu as a starting point, then adjust to taste.

Storage:

Store in a sealed spice jar away from heat and light for up to 6 months.

Swaps:

Nutritional yeast can be swapped with extra seasoning if unavailable, though the cheesy-umami note will be missing.
