The history of Vegan Tofu Scramble with nutritional yeast dates back to the 1970s when veganism gained popularity in the United States. Chefs and home cooks sought to create plant-based alternatives to classic breakfast dishes. Tofu, a staple in Asian cuisine, became the perfect substitute for eggs. The addition of nutritional yeast, known for its cheesy flavor, elevated the dish, providing a savory and satisfying taste. Today, this dish can be found in vegan and vegetarian restaurants across the globe, with variations in regions like California, where innovative chefs add unique ingredients like turmeric for color and flavor. For the best version, ensuring the tofu is properly seasoned and the nutritional yeast evenly distributed is crucial.
