Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Kala Namak (black salt)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach, optional
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Begin by draining the tofu and patting it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a fork and set aside.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Kala Namak. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
3. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the onion turns translucent.
5. Stir in the crumbled tofu and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the top.
6. Cook the tofu mixture, stirring frequently, for about 7-8 minutes or until the tofu is heated through and lightly browned. If using, add the fresh spinach in the last 2 minutes of cooking to wilt.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a bit more Kala Namak for extra eggy flavor if desired.
8. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy this vegan scrambled eggs as is, or with toast or your favorite breakfast sides.
