Tofu Scramble | Soy Boys

[@cycleinthesun]

Surprised to see that Black Salt was not mentioned. It has an eggy aroma and taste so coupled with the turmeric really gives it a scrambled egg taste.

[@aquagamer1212]

Thanks for this tip!

[@cycleinthesun]

[@MelissiaBlackheart]

I really want to get in to including Tofu in my recipes. I'm not vegetarian, but it's just so healthy and versatile. If you take silken tofu and food processor it up you can even use it to replace cream for things like pastas or chocolate mousse. And unlike cream, it's shelf-stable, so there's way less food waste and way less "I need to use this before it goes bad" stress.

[@jojomojo508]

You should be vegan. You have no reason not to. A vegan diet is more environmentally friendly, proven to be 50% cheaper and more healthy. It's also free from animal abuse.

[@nomms]

Do it! Tofu is wonderful, if trucky. Once you nail it down it becomes such a staple. My stir frys are not complete without some super crispy fried and marinated tofu

[@altokia2724]

True. Though, I feel that actual tofu dishes are way better than using it as a substitute.

[@jojomojo508]

@@nomms You should look into pressed tofu (豆干). It's an even firmer form of tofu that is often either smoked, deep fried or flavoured with five spice.

[@nomms]

@@jojomojo508 I'm going to have to, I'd love to try actually smoking some insteading using liquid smoke in a marinade.

This episode was fantastic as I've just been introduced to a brand new recipe that looks like it's easy enough for even ME to make. I think the only thing I'd personally change is which type of tofu was used as I'm personally a fan of the consistency of the soft tofu as it LOOKED more like the scrambled eggs I'm used to eating.

[@Chikapuffin]

I was always scared by my burger loving dad that I’d be eating tofu for the rest of my life if I didn’t eat the meaty meals he made but now I love the stuff, it’s surprising how well tofu can imitate many other foods and also just add to any meal

[@MrAqr2598]

We Japanese usually called soft/firm tofu _momen tōfu_ (木綿豆腐, cotton tofu).

[@Oonagh72]

I use extra firm tofu in my scramble because when I ate eggs I didn’t like them soft. I liked them overcooked. My new favorite way to make tofu scramble is with Just Egg. Makes a nice flavorful balance. Also it stretches the just egg since the Just Egg is more expensive.

[@willschneider4616]

Creamy tofu scramble works especially well with spicy soy chorizo for that double-hit of plant-based protein. Scrambled tofu + soy chorizo + homemade potatoes O'Brien or homemade sourdough toast is my go-to hearty breakfast. It easily wins over skeptical omnivores.

[@3jennybenny]

Friends and I add nutritional yeast for more depth of flavor too! we like to spread our tofu egg scramble with avocado toast with sesame seeds!

[@yesmilady7525]

This is a really nice video comparing different consistencies of tofu when replicating scrambled eggs. Generally, I prefer the extra firm variety but in this video, it didn't fare so well for whatever reason. Some additional spices could spruce this up even more! Kala Namak would give the aroma of eggs due to its sulfuric content. Nutritious yeast would enhance the flavor too. It can be a little hard to get all the spices to enhance tofu scramble so you might want to give "Eggcellent" a try :-) It's all in one bottle.

[@kimberleighcrimmins8375]

Extra form is grilled and soy sauced only, the others can be scrambled and added to stir fry or whatever floats your boat. I like tofu. That being said, the cholesterol numbers are lowered by the same people who sell cholesterol lowering drugs, tobacco companies did the same thing. I don't mind adding some soft tofu to my scrambled eggs and butter.

Dietary cholesterol has no effect on cholesterol in the bloodstream. This is probably less healthy than scrambled eggs.

[@ryuStack]

@@seanoconnell7080 This is not true. And even if it was, the eggs also contain the saturated fats, which are linked with the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular illnesses. In what universe is a tofu less healthy? It's basically a brick of plant protein extracted from soy with a help of natural catalyzer like salt or a lemon juice.

[@aLazyWitch]

I just made scrambled tofu for the first time! Thanks for the inspiration. It’s delish!

[@Caerph1lly]

The tofu definitely needs to be pressed longer. Removing as much moisture from tofu helps it absorb other flavors more easily. Eiter using a tofu press BEFORE breaking it apart, or just using paper towels and pressing it with a book, replacing the paper towels a couple or times until they are dry. Especially for the firmer tofus. And this is missing black salt. Black salt is key in a tofu scramble to get the egg flavor. Or nutritional yeast adds some cheesy flavor.

[@Bella_loves_music]

As someone who is a meat eater through and through ( health and I just like the taste as well) I find there story very inspirational and have been thinking of trying some of the dishes just subbing meat where there is soy

If you are near a Trader Joe’s, they usually have soft, firm, extra-firm, and occasionally a super-firm tofu that is shrink-wrapped with no water.
