Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black salt (kala namak)
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoons fresh chives
Instructions
Drain the tofu and lightly press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, crumble the tofu using a fork or your hands until it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.
Add nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned tofu mixture to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and pour in the almond milk, gently folding it into the tofu scramble until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chives before serving.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your vegan scrambled eggs with spinach!
