This is honestly my favorite series from the channel so far, I love the mix between cooking and the therapeutic talk sessions. Please keep making them:)
I know y'all are busy with lives and whatnot, but I NEED more of these episodes. Everything about them hits me solidly, from the recipes, to the friendship, to the vocal tones, to the emotional journey. I NEED MORE PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
I really want to get in to including Tofu in my recipes. I'm not vegetarian, but it's just so healthy and versatile. If you take silken tofu and food processor it up you can even use it to replace cream for things like pastas or chocolate mousse. And unlike cream, it's shelf-stable, so there's way less food waste and way less "I need to use this before it goes bad" stress.
You should be vegan. You have no reason not to. A vegan diet is more environmentally friendly, proven to be 50% cheaper and more healthy. It's also free from animal abuse.
Do it! Tofu is wonderful, if trucky. Once you nail it down it becomes such a staple. My stir frys are not complete without some super crispy fried and marinated tofu
This episode was fantastic as I've just been introduced to a brand new recipe that looks like it's easy enough for even ME to make. I think the only thing I'd personally change is which type of tofu was used as I'm personally a fan of the consistency of the soft tofu as it LOOKED more like the scrambled eggs I'm used to eating.
This breakfast is stellar! Love seeing your dedication to making healthy choices! Kala Namak will amp up the flavor of your plant-based recipes! Keep doing what you’re doing! One step at a time! You can do this👊🏻
I use extra firm tofu in my scramble because when I ate eggs I didn’t like them soft. I liked them overcooked. My new favorite way to make tofu scramble is with Just Egg. Makes a nice flavorful balance. Also it stretches the just egg since the Just Egg is more expensive.
I was always scared by my burger loving dad that I’d be eating tofu for the rest of my life if I didn’t eat the meaty meals he made but now I love the stuff, it’s surprising how well tofu can imitate many other foods and also just add to any meal
This is a really nice video comparing different consistencies of tofu when replicating scrambled eggs. Generally, I prefer the extra firm variety but in this video, it didn't fare so well for whatever reason. Some additional spices could spruce this up even more! Kala Namak would give the aroma of eggs due to its sulfuric content. Nutritious yeast would enhance the flavor too. It can be a little hard to get all the spices to enhance tofu scramble so you might want to give "Eggcellent" a try :-) It's all in one bottle.
Creamy tofu scramble works especially well with spicy soy chorizo for that double-hit of plant-based protein. Scrambled tofu + soy chorizo + homemade potatoes O'Brien or homemade sourdough toast is my go-to hearty breakfast. It easily wins over skeptical omnivores.
There's a super-firm from Nasoya and it's mostly drained and works very well for soups where chunks of beef would be. Great grilled and seasoned on its own. Crumbles like a block of cooked ground beef.
@@seanoconnell7080 This is not true. And even if it was, the eggs also contain the saturated fats, which are linked with the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular illnesses. In what universe is a tofu less healthy? It's basically a brick of plant protein extracted from soy with a help of natural catalyzer like salt or a lemon juice.
I would very much like to see a home-made version of a puffed rice or oat breakfast cereal along the lines of Coco/Fruity Pebbles, Golden Crisp, Cap’n Crunch, etc. It would especially be great to see what kind of original breakfast cereal you could come up with… like ‘Babish Fruity-Crunch Treasure O’s
I just made myself this recipe and it was amazing. Haven't had eggs in 3 years and it's like i'm eating an omelette again, despite the tofu that i got being extremely firm, even more so than in the video. Thank you very much.
Excited to try a scramble with a softer variety! So much thanks for these videos. So refreshing and so wholesome. Awe-inspiring. Now, excuse me while I go downstairs to make some tofu scramble with the extra firm tofu I always buy :)
Extra form is grilled and soy sauced only, the others can be scrambled and added to stir fry or whatever floats your boat. I like tofu. That being said, the cholesterol numbers are lowered by the same people who sell cholesterol lowering drugs, tobacco companies did the same thing. I don't mind adding some soft tofu to my scrambled eggs and butter.
This kinda reminds me of how i learned to make paneer burji (also known in english as scrambled paneer)[paneer: an indian cottage cheese that cannot be melted] depending on the texture of the paneer (soft or firm) i stir fry it with usually tomato, onion and mushrooms.
beast boy would love this dish. maybe someday I will try it if I can find any. the last time I read about tofu it supposes to be a bland cube that you have to use to soak up leftover juices from food to add flavor.
It makes sense once you realize that meat-eaters hate being reminded that there are alternatives to meat, egg, dairy, fish and that they do not need to keep partaking in daily animal abuse. It makes them feel guilty so they lash out.
@@jojomojo508 It's the vegan haters. Absolutely. And possibly those who don't want various people showing up on this channel. It's as simple as don't watch it, but 🤷🏼♀️
Best thing on this channel by far, and I have no interest in vegetarian cooking. I eat eggs every day, detest tofu, and I'm seriously considering trying this recipe. Love to watch Brad and Chris checking in. We need more Soy Boys.
@@VerhoevenSimon probably the bland taste and the texture, I guess? Many people don't like it cuz it's texture and etc. and I think that's reasonable yet sounded so exaggerate
As someone who is a meat eater through and through ( health and I just like the taste as well) I find there story very inspirational and have been thinking of trying some of the dishes just subbing meat where there is soy
I lived in the home of the tofu scramble in Santa Cruz. I used to love to confuse the waitstaff by ordering a tofu scramble with bacon. As long as you're living mostly well, you still deserve treats.
I have been a vegitarian for over a decade and always thought tofu scamble was BS. Until now. But I think they dont sell silken tofu in my area. I might try putting firm in a blender or something.
i LIKE it! i cant believe how so far i have never thought about using tofu as a substitute to scrambled eggs! ill try the silken tofu one tomorrow :D great video! Keep it up boys! :D
The tofu definitely needs to be pressed longer. Removing as much moisture from tofu helps it absorb other flavors more easily. Eiter using a tofu press BEFORE breaking it apart, or just using paper towels and pressing it with a book, replacing the paper towels a couple or times until they are dry. Especially for the firmer tofus. And this is missing black salt. Black salt is key in a tofu scramble to get the egg flavor. Or nutritional yeast adds some cheesy flavor.
Love this - going to try making it. I’m curious what other spice Chris added, though, besides turmeric. Saw him sprinkle something in. Maybe cumin or garlic powder?
How’d you know I’ve been thinking about tofu scrambles lately. I haven’t been able to find the seasoning mix in Utah grocery stores since I moved from Seattle. Seattle stores all had the mixes but it’s a wholly different mindset up there compared to Utah.
Make your own seasoning mix. Use some onion powder to boost the onions, add a bit of paprika, salt, pepper, maybe experiment with a pinch of cumin, go nuts.
Suggest you use a non-stick pan next time. fry the tofu up till brown before adding anything. and use some sort of "gravy" with Kala Namak (black salt) and other spices. you can do SO much better here...
If you are near a Trader Joe’s, they usually have soft, firm, extra-firm, and occasionally a super-firm tofu that is shrink-wrapped with no water. If you want your scramble to really taste like eggs, you should add some Kala Namak. It definitely adds an eggy taste. I like it either way, but you should at least try it!
finally some vegan food on this channel. I unsubscribed a while ago because there was literally never anything I would want to eat because of the ingredients
Surprised to see that Black Salt was not mentioned. It has an eggy aroma and taste so coupled with the turmeric really gives it a scrambled egg taste.
Thanks for this tip!
@@aquagamer1212 less is more! Put a bit in to begin with and then maybe a small bit to season at the end
Honestly! I use it all the time for scrambled tofu or fried rice!
Or even nutritional yeast to add some "cheesiness"

True. Though, I feel that actual tofu dishes are way better than using it as a substitute.
@@nomms You should look into pressed tofu (豆干). It's an even firmer form of tofu that is often either smoked, deep fried or flavoured with five spice.
@@jojomojo508 I'm going to have to, I'd love to try actually smoking some insteading using liquid smoke in a marinade.

We Japanese usually called soft/firm tofu _momen tōfu_ (木綿豆腐, cotton tofu).

I just truly want to meet Chris and give him a hug for being so honest about living with mental health struggles.
the sound of the wet tofu jiggle. Chills down my spine
I ❤️ tofu scrambles! Thanks for making this series.
Man I love this series. I'm going to try this this weekend.
Tofu scramble is one of our favorite go-to breakfasts! Also super delicious in a wrap
genuinely one of the best health series I’ve seen. Thank you.

@@ryuStack It's less healthy because it has significantly less protein and less vitamins and minerals and less amino acids and less BCAA's.

Boudin Creek scrambled tofu is my all-time fave scrambled tofu. The best.
As someone who is a meat eater through and through ( health and I just like the taste as well) I find there story very inspirational and have been thinking of trying some of the dishes just subbing meat where there is soy
To make it more egg-like, Kala namak, msg, nutritional yeast, vegan butter, tiny bit of plant milk/cream to loosen if needed.
Why are people trying to imitate the things they are willingly giving up ?

I like adding cajun seasoning and vegan cheese, then placing it under the grill
You can add black salt for “eggie” flavor. Also, a little fine-textured rice flour helps make the tofu have a bit more solid texture like an egg.
Extra firm is great for crispy tofu sandwiches.
Yes, I been waiting so long for vegan videos by the BCU! Thank you so much!
