Ingredients

• 400 grams firm tofu
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups spinach leaves
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup cooked lentils (optional, for extra protein)
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and gently press it between paper towels to remove excess water. Crumble the tofu into small pieces with your hands or a fork.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Sprinkle the turmeric powder, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, black salt, and black pepper over the tofu. Stir well to coat evenly.

Step 5

Add the spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

Step 6

For extra protein, stir in the cooked lentils if using, and cook for 1-2 additional minutes until heated through.

Step 7

Drizzle soy sauce or tamari over the mixture and stir to combine.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy your high-protein tofu scramble!
