About This Recipe

By: Noriko Shindo

  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Step by Step Instructions

STEP 1

Drain the firm tofu well in a colander before cooking.

STEP 2

Put the oil in a heated pan and fry the chopped garlic.

STEP 3

Add the drained tofu and mash into random bits. It’s ok if some water comes out – it will evaporate as you cook.

STEP 4

Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric, and salt. Stir until incorporated.

STEP 5

If you are adding some vegetables (like spinach), add some now. Pour in the plant milk, and mix. Serve with some fresh black pepper and enjoy!
