Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Drain the tofu and pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork for a scrambled-egg-like texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nutritional yeast, almond milk, turmeric, salt, black pepper, and black salt until fully combined.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Pour the almond milk mixture over the tofu, stirring gently to coat the tofu evenly.
Cook the tofu for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown slightly and absorb the flavors.
Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are heated through.
Stir in the fresh chives and parsley, and cook for an additional minute.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
