Chef's Tips

For a creamier scramble, add a splash of plant-based milk (like soy or almond milk) towards the end of cooking.

Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your spice preference.

You can add other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the scramble.

For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast.

Ensure the tofu is well pressed to avoid a soggy scramble. You can use a tofu press or wrap it in paper towels and place a heavy object on top for at least 30 minutes.
