Drain and pat the tofu dry with a paper towel. Crumble it into small pieces with your hands or a fork, resembling scrambled eggs.
In a small bowl, mix turmeric powder, nutritional yeast, plant-based milk, garlic powder, kala namak (for eggy flavor), salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the crumbled tofu and gently toss to coat.
Heat olive oil or vegan butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu mixture and cook for 5β7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and lightly golden.
In a separate skillet or microwave, cook the plant-based bacon strips according to the package instructions until crispy.
Slice and toast your vegan-friendly bagel to your desired level of crispiness.
Spread vegan mayonnaise on the inner sides of the toasted bagel halves.
On the bottom half of the bagel, layer the cooked tofu scramble, plant-based bacon strips, fresh lettuce leaves, and tomato slices.
Place the top half of the bagel on the assembled sandwich, press gently, and serve warm.
