Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the tofu by draining and pressing it to remove excess water. Crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces with your hands or a fork to resemble scrambled eggs.

Step 2

Step 2: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu to the pan and stir in turmeric powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and lightly golden. Garnish with parsley or chives if desired, and serve hot.
