Notes
- Egg-like Flavor: To achieve a taste and appearance more similar to scrambled eggs, use turmeric and kala namak salt.
- Use a Non-Stick Pan: Opt for a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to prevent the tofu from sticking during cooking.
- Don't Overcook: Avoid overcooking. Remove it from the heat as soon as the tofu is heated through and lightly browned. Overcooking can result in a dry and rubbery texture.
- Gentle Stirring: Use a gentle stirring motion to avoid breaking the tofu into tiny pieces. This helps maintain its texture and prevents it from becoming mushy.
- Experiment with Veggies: Add your favorite veggies to customize your scramble. Peppers, onions, spinach, and mushrooms are excellent choices to add flavor and texture.
