    Just tried it and it taste strange… I dunno, maybe it’s me but I won’t make again!

      I thought it was delicious! Maybe you just cooked it a little wrong? I’ve made it a few times and always loved it.

      Strange? Really? I found it to be pretty good. But I guess everyone has different tastes. 🤷‍♂️

    Yummy! I added some mushrooms and it was amazing! Thanks!

    This recipe is super easy and tastes amazing! Never thought I’d enjoy tofu!

    I don’t see how this can taste good. Tofu just tastes like nothing and the spices can’t save it.

    1. 4 stars
      I get your point, but tofu can actually soak up flavors pretty well if you season it right. Give it a shot!

      Nah man, tofu is just nasty. I’ll stick to eggs, thanks!

    I messed up the spices but it still turned out okay. Not my favorite but not bad.

    Wow, this tofu scramble is amazing! I didn’t miss the eggs at all and the flavors are on point. Will definitely make this again!

    1. 2 stars
      Tofu is kinda weird though, right? Like, how can you say it tastes just like eggs? I just can’t get over the texture.

      I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I love that it’s so easy to make. It’s a great way to get protein without the eggs!

    Not bad! I used whatever veggies I had in the fridge. Wouldn’t say I loved it, but I’ll eat it.

    I followed the recipe but my tofu burnt. Maybe my stove is too hot. What did I do wrong? 🤔

      Burnt tofu is common, but don’t beat yourself up! Just lower the heat a bit. Maybe your stove heats differently?

      Did you cook it on high heat? Medium is best! Next time, try watching it closely. Don’t worry, you’ll get it right! 😊

    Can I use egg instead of tofu? I’m not vegan and just don’t get the hype about tofu.

    1. User avatar toney.nader says:

      3 stars
      Why would you want to use eggs in a vegan recipe? Tofu is kind of the point! Just try the tofu, it might surprise you.

      Eggs would totally change the dish! You should try it as is; tofu has its own unique texture and taste. But, hey, everyone has their own preferences!

  12. 5 stars
    My kids loved it! We used it as a filling for wraps and it was a hit!

    Honestly, I don’t know if I trust tofu. Does it really taste good like this?

      Wait, tofu? I thought this was supposed to taste like eggs? Doesn’t seem right… I don’t know if I’ll try it.

  16. 1 star
    I should’ve known better! Tofu just doesn’t taste like anything. Junk.

    1. User avatar bobbye.abshire says:

      3 stars
      Nah, tofu can be good if ya cook it proper. My friend makes it with more flavors and it’s not junk! Maybe try a differnt recipe?

    2. User avatar bret.bernhard69 says:

      I totally get what you mean! Tofu can be bland, but if you season it right, it can be really tasty! Just give it another shot with some spices. 😄

    Easy to make but I added too much salt and ruined it. Lesson learned!

    1. User avatar lloyd.hoppe19 says:

      Too much salt? Just call it ‘salty tofu surprise’! 😂 But seriously, it’s a good lesson for next time. Hope you try it again!

    2. 4 stars
      Hey, we all make mistakes in the kitchen! Salt can be tricky. Next time, just add a little at a time. Glad the rest of the recipe worked for you!

    This recipe is easy to follow but tasted kinda bland. I added hot sauce to spice it up a bit.

  19. User avatar ALTplusF4 says:

    I tried it and it didn’t look like the picture. Maybe my stove is weird?

    Wow, this is better than I expected! The turmeric gives it such a nice color.

    Tastes off… is it the nutritional yeast? Never heard of it before!

    1. 4 stars
      I think the nutritional yeast gives it a cheesy flavor, but if you’re not used to it, it can taste a bit strange. Maybe try reducing the amount next time?

    2. 3 stars
      Nutritional yeast is kinda weird, but it’s healthy! Just maybe try something with cheese instead if you miss that taste?

    I don’t think tofu is a good sub for eggs. The texture is all wrong. Had a hard time finishing it.

    Das not cook right, it just faills apart! I need more practice!

  24. 1 star
    I don’t get why people like tofu. It tastes like nothing! Just egg is better…

    Super quick and easy! I added some cumin and it really kicked it up a notch. Love me some vegan meals!

    1. User avatar jerome.frami2024 says:

      Seems too simple, not sure if I’d like it. Does it really taste good?

    2. User avatar smartestRedditor says:

      5 stars
      Glad you enjoyed it! Cumin is a great addition. I usually add a bit of chili powder too for heat!

    1. User avatar Chantell Champlin says:

      I totally agree! This recipe is so much better than eggs. Tofu scramble is where it’s at! 🌱

  27. User avatar Babara Schimmel IV says:

    Why nutritional yeast? Can’t I just use cheese? Seems silly.
