Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices sliced whole wheat vegan bread
- 1 small avocado
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 medium tomato
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Begin by draining the tofu and pressing it between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Crumble the tofu into small pieces with your hands or a fork, resembling scrambled eggs.
In a small bowl, mix together the almond milk, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet.
Pour the almond milk mixture over the tofu, stirring gently to combine until the tofu is evenly coated and the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
While the tofu is cooking, slice the avocado and medium tomato.
Toast the whole wheat vegan bread slices to your desired level of crispness.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading avocado on two slices of the toasted bread. Layer with the cooked scrambled tofu, tomato slices, and fresh baby spinach.
Top with the other slices of bread. Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce for an extra kick.
Serve the vegan scrambled egg sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
