Ingredients

• 450 grams firm tofu
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup kale, finely chopped
• 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond or oat)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess water. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel, place it on a plate, and set a heavy object (such as a skillet) on top for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Crumble the pressed tofu into the skillet using your hands, breaking it into bite-sized pieces to mimic scrambled eggs.

Step 4

Cook the tofu for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown slightly.

Step 5

Add the garlic, turmeric powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix well to evenly coat the tofu with the spices.

Step 6

Stir in the plant-based milk and nutritional yeast to create a creamy texture. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is well combined.

Step 7

Add the baby spinach, kale, and green onions to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the greens are wilted and tender.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the scrambled tofu and stir to combine.

Step 9

Serve immediately, either on its own, with toast, or as a filling for wraps or breakfast burritos.
