Notes
- About the turmeric: Turmeric gives this scramble it's yellow color. If you don't have turmeric, you can just omit it. It's in the recipe mainly for color, not flavor.
- About the black salt: Black salt gives this scramble an "eggy" flavor. It's actually pink in color. If you can't find it in stores, it's available online. You can substitute table salt instead, if you don't have black salt handy.
- Nutritional information is for the scramble made with vegan cheese shreds.
