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!
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.
Can I use egg instead of tofu? I’m not vegan and just don’t get the hype about tofu.
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!
Yum! Made this for breakfast and it was so filling! Totally going to become my go-to dish!
I should’ve known better! Tofu just doesn’t taste like anything. Junk.
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?
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. 😄
This recipe is easy to follow but tasted kinda bland. I added hot sauce to spice it up a bit.
I don’t think tofu is a good sub for eggs. The texture is all wrong. Had a hard time finishing it.
Super quick and easy! I added some cumin and it really kicked it up a notch. Love me some vegan meals!
Seems too simple, not sure if I’d like it. Does it really taste good?
Glad you enjoyed it! Cumin is a great addition. I usually add a bit of chili powder too for heat!
