The first time I made this, I was amazed by how delicious it was. It's really easy and healthy, too. Vegan and macrobiotic! Looks and tastes like real scrambled eggs.

I used chopped canned mushrooms (yes sacrilege but our vegetarian doesn't like mushrooms) and left out the pepper. Added 1/4 c. chopped parsley for color and served it for dinner. I thought it was a great use for tofu that hadn't survived compression in a pretty block for slicing. It was a side dish for the rest of us with fish. GREAT! Read More

This is truly delicious! I highly recommend especially to vegans who desire an "egg" substitute entree. Since first finding this recipe I've made it two or three times per week. The seasonings and spices make this an amazing dish. Thanks for sharing. PS. I sprinkled nutritional yeast on top to finish th recipe and give it a little"cheese" flavor Read More

I made this on a smaller scale and used regular mushrooms. This was a great light dinner served with warm pita and some tamarind chutney. Will definitely make this again. Read More

i'm a fan of tofu but like Kag824 i was disappointed.. i doubled the mushrooms and added some garlic salt and cilantro.. but this still tasted like it was lacking something.. in my experience tofu needs to be highly seasoned otherwise it's pretty bland.. i ended up eating this topped with jarred salsa Read More

This is a good start though the carrots seem out of place to me. I omitted the carrots and added nutritional yeast to make the scrambled tofu have a cheesy/eggy flavor. I made this into tacos and it was delicious! Read More

Surprised how edible it was the first time I made it. Now I make it all the time with whatever vegetables I have on hand. I like to put a scoop in a tortilla with some hot sauce maybe add some avocado. Great thanks! Read More
