Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 16 oz. firm tofu block
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk
- pinch of salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet on MEDIUM. Crumble the block of tofu with your hands, or use a fork.
- Add the crumbled tofu to the hot skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently until excess water evaporates. Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, and smoked paprika powder. Cook the seasoned tofu for about 5 minutes, to combine with the spices.
- Pour the plant-based milk into the skillet and combine with the cooked tofu.
- The scrambled tofu is now ready to be served. Enjoy it with sliced avocado and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
Notes
- Using your hands to break down the tofu, aim for a consistency that resembles coarse bread crumbs.
- If you have time, press the tofu. First, wrap it in paper towel then place it on a plate. Then put something heavy on top of it (a Dutch oven does the trick for me!). Let it sit for 20–30 minutes.
- Mix the yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, and paprika together separately before adding it all to the tofu. This guarantees an even distribution of flavor.
