Ingredients

• 400 g firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 200 g vegan bacon
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it using a tofu press or by placing it between paper towels with a weight on top. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to remove excess water.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, crumble the pressed tofu with your hands until it reaches a scrambled egg-like consistency.

Step 3

Add nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Stir in the unsweetened almond milk to the tofu mixture to make it creamy. Set aside.

Step 5

In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the tofu mixture to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick, until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden.

Step 7

In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegan bacon and cook according to package instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes per side until crisp.

Step 8

Add the diced tomato and fresh spinach leaves to the tofu scramble. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are slightly soft.

Step 9

Remove both the scrambled tofu and vegan bacon from the heat.

Step 10

Serve the tofu scramble hot, topped with crispy vegan bacon and sprinkled with fresh chives. Enjoy!
