A savory, protein-heavy breakfast in one pan — crumbled tofu browned, then coated in a golden turmeric sauce. The counterweight to a sweet bowl of oats.

Method

- Whisk the ½ tsp1.4 g turmeric, ½ tsp1.4 g garlic powder, ½ tsp1.2 g onion powder, and 2 tbsp10 g nutritional yeast with a few tablespoons of water into a thin, pourable sauce.
- Heat the 1 tbsp14 g olive oil in a skillet over medium. Add the tofu and cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it firms up and the edges catch some color.
- Pour the spice sauce over the tofu and stir to coat evenly; cook 2 minutes until golden. Add the 1 cup85 g frozen spinach and ½ cup75 g bell pepper; cook until warmed through and any water has cooked off. Season with salt, to taste and pepper, to taste.
Kids: keep it plain — just tofu, turmeric, and nutritional yeast in the sauce — and serve it over toast.

FoundThe top tofu scramble whisks its spices into a thin pourable sauce before they hit the pan, so every crumb coats evenly and turns golden instead of clumping; ours only hinted at it with a splash of water.
ChangedAdded an explicit tofu-drying step and now whisk the turmeric, garlic, onion, and nutritional yeast into a pourable sauce poured over the browned tofu — the technique adopted without the Southwest spices, to stay in the plain-savory slot.
