Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 block (14 to 16 oz) extra-firm tofu, drained and patted dry
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 tsp black salt (kala namak), or regular salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional)

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  2. Crumble the tofu into the skillet, breaking it into uneven pieces. Sprinkle with turmeric, nutritional yeast, black salt, and black pepper. Fold gently to coat, then spread into an even layer.
  3. Let cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, then stir. Add spinach if using and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until wilted. Remove from heat, taste, and add more black salt if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the most authentic egg flavor, use black salt (kala namak). It’s available online or at Indian grocery stores. Regular salt works fine, but the eggy note won’t be as pronounced.
