Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 4 slices sourdough bread slices
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 large tomato
- 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
Instructions
Drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu into two rectangular pieces about half an inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture generously over both sides of the tofu slices, ensuring an even coating.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegan butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted and hot, add the tofu slices. Fry each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy.
While the tofu is cooking, slice the tomato and avocado.
Toast the sourdough bread slices either in a toaster or on a pan until crispy and golden.
Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on each slice of the toasted bread.
Layer the baby spinach, fried tofu slice, avocado slices, and tomato slices on one piece of bread.
Top with the other slice of bread with mayo side down to form a sandwich.
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious vegan classic fried egg sandwich!
