Instructions:
Ingredients:
  • 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped (optional but recommended for flavor)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or 1 medium tomato, diced)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric (for color and subtle earthiness)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  • Optional: pinch of black salt (kala namak) for an eggy flavor

Steps:
  1. Prep the Tofu:
    Press the tofu for at least 10–15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Then crumble it with your hands or a fork into bite-sized, scramble-like pieces.
  2. Sauté Aromatics:
    In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the chopped onion (if using) and sauté for 2–3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Cook the Tomatoes:
    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until they start to soften and release some of their juices.
  4. Add the Tofu & Spices:
    Stir in the crumbled tofu. Sprinkle with turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the tofu to absorb the flavors and take on a golden color.
  5. Add Nutritional Yeast & Almond Milk:
    Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the almond milk and add nutritional yeast. Mix well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until creamy and heated through.
  6. Add Spinach:
    Toss in the chopped spinach and stir just until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
  7. Finish & Serve:
    Taste and adjust seasoning. For a more eggy flavor, sprinkle with a pinch of black salt before serving. Serve hot with toast, avocado, or wrapped in a tortilla for a breakfast burrito!
