Ingredients
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black salt (Kala Namak)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 slices Vegan cheese slices
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
- 1 small Tomato
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Drain and pat dry the firm tofu with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Crumble the tofu into a medium-sized bowl until it resembles scrambled eggs.
Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu. Mix well to coat evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the seasoned tofu to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and slightly golden.
Meanwhile, toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on each of two slices of toasted bread.
Place two lettuce leaves on each mayonnaise-covered slice.
Cut the tomato into slices and distribute evenly over the lettuce.
Top the tomato slices with the cooked tofu scramble.
Place a slice of vegan cheese on top of the tofu on each sandwich.
Finish each sandwich with the remaining slices of toasted bread.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve warm.
