    Hello Ben,

    Found this recipe while browsing around on teh interwebz today and thought you might like it. My mom made this for us kids a few times when we were young. I am not vegan but I would definitely use this on regular eggs also.

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Tofu Scramble Spice Mix (IDTLC)
    Categories: Breakfast, Tofu, Cheese/eggs, Seandennis
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1/2 c Nutritional yeast
    4 ts Black salt
    3 ts Onion powder
    1 ts Garlic powder
    1 ts Ground tumeric

    MMMMM-----------------------EXAMPLE USAGE----------------------------
    1 ts Vegan butter or oil
    1 Block tofu (12-15 oz/350-420
    -g, medium firm, firm, or
    -extra firm
    2 tb Tofu Scrambler spice mix

    To make the tofu scramble spice mix:

    Add all of the ingredients into a sealable jar and shake well or stir
    to combine. Store in your pantry until ready to use.

    To make a tofu scramble:

    Add vegan butter or oil to a pan and heat. When hot, add your tofu of
    choice. Medium-firm tofu will result in a creamy and tender scramble,
    firm tofu will be a bit less tender, and extra-firm tofu is perfect
    for a drier scramble. Crumble the tofu of choice into the pan, and
    sprinkle over 2 tablespoons of the tofu scramble spice mix. Stir to
    evenly distribute the spice and heat through.

    Thanks! I used to date someone with an egg sensitivity and we made tofu scramble now and then. The nooch and turmeric give it a yellow, eggish
    color. A trick i learned from my sister was to use Indian black salt,
    which adds a hint of a sulfuric flavor, making it taste more like eggs.
    I seldom buy eggs or tofu, but i'll save this recipe for that occasion.
    Here's a similar recipe:

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Tofu Scramble Seasoning
    Categories: Seasonings, Tofu, Breakfast, Seandennis
    Yield: 2 Servings

    1 tb Olive oil
    16 oz Firm tofu
    2 tb Nutritional yeast
    1/2 ts Salt; or more to taste
    1/4 ts Turmeric
    1/4 ts Garlic powder
    2 tb Plain non-dairy milk;
    - unsweetened

    Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Mash the block of
    tofu right in the pan with a potato masher or a fork. You can also
    crumble it into the pan with your hands. Cook, stirring
    frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes until the water from the tofu is
    mostly gone.

    Now add the nutritional yeast, salt, tumeric, and garlic powder.
    Cook and stir constantly for about 5 minutes.

    Pour the non-dairy milk into the pan and stir to mix. Serve
    immediately with sliced avocado, hot sauce, parsley, steamed kale,
    toast, or any other breakfast item.

    Oh, the Indian black salt makes sense, definitely.

    (No recipe as my main computer is down and I rebuilt my laptop's Slackware install and haven't installed DOSemu yet, so no Meal-Master.)
