Eggy Tofu on Toast

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
