So, maybe you guys can help me out. I absolutely love and am addicted to tofu scramble but can never seem to get it right when I make it on my own. In the interim while I figure out how to make it properly or get it to taste decently, what are some places in the city that make awesome tofu scramble? I LOVED the scramble at Kate's Joint but that's all I've had so far. List more places I can get delicious tofu scramble. Bliss Cafe on Bedford and N 6th has a pretty dang good tofu scramble. Their breakfast burritos are yumfest as well. |

I've been to Bliss, its pretty okay, but never for breakfast. Likewise when I'm in that area, I usually end up at Vinnie's.
Now I want to try this tofu scramble.

See, that's the thing. I'm not trying to get it to taste like eggs. I hate eggs and always have which is partly why I love tofu scramble so much, because it doesn't taste like it. Mostly I mean I can never get it to be flavored the same way I've tasted it in restaurants or even in the same way my friends have made it. I always put salsa on mine too which makes it taste amazing, but I've had it before where I just eat it straight up. I think maybe I'm not adding enough cumin or tumeric, mostly because its not nearly the same dark yellow color when I make it. Last time I made it using that recipe, I didn't put in any nutritional yeast because I'm not big on how that stuff tastes, thinking that might be the problem, and I'm still finding it not to be that tasty. I'm definitely not doing something correctly because it doesn't taste as good or flavorful as when I've had it in restaurants or had other friends make it. My friend I'm staying with this weekend is having a brunch and probably making it, I believe she uses the same recipe. Maybe I'll look and see what she does, maybe she does something different. Last time she made it, it was amazing. or maybe I should just go to Kate's and ask what they do? but yeah, definitely not trying to make it be an egg replacer. Was actually really weary of the stuff at first because I just hate the taste and smell of eggs, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it didn't taste or smell like it. I just naturally assumed it to be a substitute like a lot of other things. As for other places in the city, I didn't even know Red Bamboo did it. I think Curly's has it, and some little cafe/coffee shop in Park Slope I was at the other day had it on their vegan/vegetarian breakfast menu. I'd be curious to check those places out. sometimes it just usually needs more salt to bring all of the flavors together. ive made scrambles before where this happened. adding a million things and it still tasting bland, just adding more salt did the trick. I tried it at the cafe in Park Slope, yuck. They did make it taste like scrambled eggs so I guess if people want it to be a substitute for that it'll be good, but it was pretty gross to me. I don't remember what the name of the coffee shop is called. I'm gonna be in Greenpoint on Friday, maybe I'll finally attempt to try/find Boneshakers. |

A new place just opened on my street called Rainy Day Cafe. The owner Nestor is a super super nice guy and they have lotsa veg sandwiches. I haven't stopped in for one yet cause I'm broke as a joke and it's on the way to the L train (I take the G in the morning). I'm gonna try to pop in this weekend though, will post a review. I know his french press coffee with vanilla soy milk is A+! |
