Tofu scramble has a rich history dating back to ancient China, where tofu was first created. This vegan alternative to scrambled eggs gained popularity in the 1970s as part of the health food movement. Chefs and home cooks alike have since experimented with various ingredients and seasonings to perfect the dish. Today, it's a staple in vegetarian and vegan cuisine, with variations found in regions across the globe. In the US, renowned vegan restaurants like Crossroads Kitchen in Los Angeles and Millennium in San Francisco are known for their exceptional tofu scramble. The key to a delicious tofu scramble lies in the seasoning and the texture of the tofu, which should be firm and well-drained. Some chefs also add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
