Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 yellow onion
- 0.5 red bell pepper
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp turmeric
- 0.25 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp water or vegetable broth
Instructions
Drain the tofu and gently press it between paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water. Crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a fork.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Dice the onion and red bell pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, turmeric, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper over the tofu mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour in the water or vegetable broth to prevent the mixture from drying out. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until wilted.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the mixture and stir to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with toast, avocado slices, or your favorite breakfast sides.
