Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Kala namak (black salt)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
Instructions
Drain the tofu and pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a bowl, crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork, resembling the texture of scrambled eggs.
Add nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, garlic powder, onion powder, kala namak, salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu. Stir well to evenly coat the tofu with the spices.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the seasoned tofu to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 minutes until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more kala namak for eggy flavor if desired.
Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh chives.
Serve the scrambled tofu hot, drizzling with your favorite hot sauce or serve it on the side for personal adjustment.
