Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by draining the firm tofu and pressing it with a kitchen towel to remove excess water.
In a medium bowl, crumble the tofu using your hands or a fork until it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.
Add nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, and plant-based milk to the crumbled tofu. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the tofu mixture to the pan. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, allowing the tofu to heat through.
Add fresh spinach and halved cherry tomatoes to the pan. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Season with additional black pepper to taste. Adjust salt levels if needed.
Once fully cooked, remove from heat and transfer to serving plates.
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Vegan Classic Egg Fry as a nutritious breakfast option!
