Tofu Scramble Seasoning Blend Recipe

I like this recipe because homemade seasoning blends save time and money and they’re easy to customize to suit individual tastes. No more buying prepackaged tofu spice mixes when you can use ingredients already in the spice cabinet!

Easiest Tofu Scramble Recipe

If you’re not sure how to make a basic tofu scramble, here is a very quick and easy method:

  • Start by melting 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble well-drained extra firm tofu into the pan and sprinkle with tofu seasoning blend (I use a scant 1 1/2 teaspoons for each 14-ounce package of tofu). Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through, and serve hot.

Scrambled Tofu Seasoning Recipe

I make tofu scramble on a weekly basis and have used this seasoning recipe for years. It’s been stored on a post-it size piece of paper inside my spice cabinet for easy reference and now that the writing is beginning to fade a bit I’ve decided to finally post the recipe here. You would think that after using these exact measurements every weekend over several years that I would have them memorized by now. Yet somehow I don’t and just keep digging for my little scrap of paper every Saturday morning. I would also only spoon out as much of each seasoning as was needed and finally decided it was time to make a bulk amount of this seasoning mix that I’m already using on a regular basis anyway.

Hardcore vegans may notice a cult favorite ingredient missing from this recipe: nutritional yeast. That’s right and it’s a deliberate omission. I’ve never been a big fan of nutritional yeast in scrambles for the simple reason that I just don’t think it tastes “eggy” or “cheesy”… or whatever it’s supposed to add. Some may disagree with me on this and that’s fine. I said what I said. 😊
