Ingredients
Scale
14 oz Extra-Firm Tofu

2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/4 tsp Kala Namak (Black Salt)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tbsp Unsweetened Nut Milk
1 cup Fresh Spinach
Instructions
- Begin by draining the water from your extra-firm tofu. Wrap the block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy skillet on top for 15 minutes
- Use your hands to crumble the tofu into a bowl, aiming for a variety of sizes
- In a small ramekin, whisk together the nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, black salt, and nut milk
- Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions or bell peppers if using until they softe
- Add the crumbled tofu to the hot skillet, letting it sit undisturbed for 3-4 minutes
- Pour the flavor slurry over the tofu and stir gently to coat every piece
- Toss in the fresh spinach and stir for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat immediately
Notes
Do not over-stir your tofu to prevent a mushy consistency. Let it sit to develop a sear.
Always use Kala Namak for an authentic 'eggy' aroma.
Check your moisture level and adjust with vegetable broth or nut milk if necessary.
