Ingredient substitutions
Tofu
- Extra firm tofu: Use the same weight and crumble by hand for a drier scramble.
Turmeric
- Turmeric powder: Use a fresh, bright powder for the classic golden color.
Spinach
- Baby spinach: Baby leaves wilt faster and keep the bowl tender.
Nutritional yeast
- Nutritional yeast flake: Use plain flakes rather than sweetened or flavored blends.
Pepper
- Sweet pepper: Any sweet pepper color works while keeping the same breakfast bowl profile.
Olive oil
- Butter: This keeps the cooking fat role but makes the bowl no longer vegan.
