A fun spin on traditional tofu scramble! It’s quick to whip together thanks to the sensational Island Teriyaki or Soyaki marinade that you can find at Trader Joe’s and many other mainstream grocery stores in the United States.
Michelle’s dad, who has never made tofu scramble before, volunteered to star in this recipe video showing how to make this delicious dish! If her not-at-all-vegan dad can make this tofu scramble recipe, so can you. And I hope you do!
If you’ve been wondering about tofu and not quite ready to try it until now, I encourage you to take a peek at our guide, “Tofu Guide for the Tentative Cook“. We share all of the information you need to know about tofu, see how it’s made, and also recommend many wonderful recipes that will soon convert you to a die hard tofu lover!
This tofu scramble recipe is a great way to begin your tofu adventure. It’s easy to make and you can add any veggies, spices, or tasty toppings that you wish. More importantly, everyone in your family will love it. Once you try it, you won’t want to go back to the other un-healthy kind.
Tofu itself is a creamy white color, so to make this scramble appear more appetizing, the spice turmeric is used. Turmeric adds the perfect shade of yellow to this dish, as well as anti-inflammatory antioxidants and a slightly earthy flavor.
If you’re missing that particular “stinky egg” scent and sulphurous flavor, you can always include a pinch of black salt. Also known as kala namak, this unique salt has the rare aroma that you connect with a typical breakfast scramble, but without any animal products or cruelty. A win, win!
Any leftover tofu scramble can be saved in a covered container and refrigerated for a few days. To re-heat, simply microwave for a minute or two or place in a sauté pan and heat until desired temperature. Tofu scramble should not be frozen.

I need to go to Trader Joe’s to get this sauce! Looks so good!
I get the Island Teriyaki sauce from Trader Joe’s and use it in at LEAST 80 percent of my stir fry and tofu dishes. It’s sooo good. Also love cubed tofu scrambles instead of scrambled. It’s just more fun with shapes!
One of my favorite tofu scramble recipes! It’s so delicious and is always a hit when I make it.
We make this so often as it is delicious and satisfying. Love the Island teryaki flavor!!
Such a delicious scramble! Perfect for breakfast!
This is one of the first recipes of Michelle’s that I ever tried, and I can still remember how good it is. Highly recommend!
Love this unique take on tofu scramble!
