This is so quick, so delicious - you have to try it!
Ingredients
8 oz of extra-firm tofu - I prefer a slightly less firm tofu since the marinade permeates better
1/2 tsp black salt (kala namak) - this is essential for “egg-like” taste*
1/2 tsp turmeric
A few grinds of fresh black pepper
2 tsps nutritional yeast
1 Tbs soy sauce
1/2 cup water
Olive oil spray
Instructions
Blend the marinade ingredients
Slice the tofu into 1/4” slabs and place in a wide baking dish
Pour the marinade over the tofu and let sit for about 20 min flipping halfway through (If I have time I like to marinate it even longer - you can even do so overnight)
Lightly pray a pan with olive oil and set on medium heat
Place the tofu pieces in the pan and cook for 3-4 min per side
Notes
Delicious with avocado on crusty sourdough toast sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning - covering all 3 major nutrients - protein, good fat from the avo and carbs from the bread!
* Black salt my be hard to find in a grocery store but easy to order online - definitely worth keeping it in the pantry for this and other tofu “eggy” recipes on the site
I sometimes pour the marinade over the tofu in the pan for extra flavor - it does cook right down
