Tofu scramble is made by crumbling tofu into a pan and cooking it with seasonings and optional vegetables. Turmeric, nutritional yeast, herbs, and black salt are common additions.

What gives tofu scramble its yellow color?

Turmeric is commonly used to give the crumbled tofu a yellow color. It changes the appearance, while ingredients such as black salt and nutritional yeast do more of the savory flavor work.

What gives tofu scramble an egg-like flavor?

Black salt, also called kala namak, can add a sulfurous note that reminds people of eggs. Nutritional yeast and herbs can add extra savory depth, but neither is required.

Drain or press the tofu before cooking, then let the pan cook off excess moisture. A drier tofu base gives the scramble a firmer texture than wet, freshly opened tofu.
