Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Spinach, chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Plant-based milk (optional)
Instructions
Drain and press the tofu between two plates with a weight on top for 5 minutes to remove excess water. Pat it dry with a clean towel.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Crumble the tofu into the skillet using your hands to achieve a scrambled texture.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the tofu. Stir well to coat evenly.
Cook the tofu for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spices are well incorporated and the tofu is heated through.
Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to soften slightly.
Stir in the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until it wilts.
If you prefer creamier scrambled tofu, stir in 2 tablespoons of plant-based milk at this point.
Top with sliced green onions and serve hot. Pair with toast, avocado, or your favorite breakfast sides.
