Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 1 block (14 oz) Firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 block (8 oz) Tempeh
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 large Tomato
Instructions
Press the tofu for 10 minutes to remove excess liquid. Crumble it into small pieces resembling scrambled eggs and set aside.
Thinly slice the tempeh into strips about 1/4-inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, and smoked paprika. Marinate the tempeh strips in this mixture for at least 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, and cook the marinated tempeh strips for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the crumbled tofu. Stir in nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden. Set aside.
Toast the English muffins until lightly golden and crispy.
Slice the avocado and tomato into thin slices.
To assemble the sandwiches, layer the bottom half of each English muffin with spinach leaves, a scoop of tofu scramble, a few slices of tempeh bacon, tomato slices, and avocado. Top with the other half of the muffin.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan breakfast sandwiches!
