Ingredients

• 400 grams firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into a bowl using your hands until it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet.

Step 3

Sprinkle the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, ground cumin, black salt, and black pepper over the tofu. Stir well to combine, ensuring the tofu is evenly coated with the spices.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pepper softens.

Step 5

Add the baby spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the scrambled tofu with sliced green onions. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve hot, and enjoy your high protein scrambled tofu!
