    🛒 Ingredients

    • 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed

    • 1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)

    • 1/2 small onion, diced

    • 1 clove garlic, minced

    • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button work great)

    • 2 cups fresh spinach

    • 1/4 tsp turmeric (for color and anti-inflammatory benefits)

    • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (adds a cheesy flavor and B12)

    • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste

    • 1/4 tsp black pepper

    • Optional:

      • Red pepper flakes or a pinch of cumin for extra flavor
    • Optional garnish:

      • Chopped parsley or green onions

    👩🏻‍🍳 Directions

    • Prepare the tofu:

      • Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to press excess moisture from the tofu.
      • Crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a fork. Set aside.

      • Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
      • Add onions and cook until translucent (about 2–3 minutes).
      • Add garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms are soft and browned (another 4–5 minutes).
    • Add tofu and seasonings:

      • Add the crumbled tofu to the pan and stir to combine.
      • Sprinkle in turmeric, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and any optional spices.
      • Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow tofu to brown slightly.

      • Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted (1–2 minutes).
    • Serve and enjoy!

      • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
      • Serve warm with toast, avocado, or wrapped in a tortilla for a breakfast burrito.

    Tips & Variations

    • Add veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, or tomatoes for extra color and nutrients.
