This flavorful and nutritious dish is made by crumbling tofu and sautéing it with a variety of vegetables and seasonings. It has become a staple in many vegan and vegetarian households and is often enjoyed as a healthy alternative to traditional scrambled eggs. The dish gained popularity in the 1970s as part of the growing interest in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Chefs and restaurants in California, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area, played a significant role in popularizing tofu scramble as a delicious and satisfying breakfast option. Today, it can be found on the menus of many vegan and vegetarian eateries across the country. The key to a delicious tofu and veggie scramble lies in the seasoning and the choice of vegetables.
