Preparation
Step 1
Place the block of tofu on a paper towel and blot all sides gently. No need to press all the water out!
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick pan or large cast-iron skillet. (Note: If adding onions or veggies – saute them first over medium heat, until tender-crisp- seasoning with salt and pepper, then set them aside.)
Step 3
Crumble the tofu into the oiled pan using your fingers, then continue breaking it apart with a wooden spatula until you have small, relatively uniform pieces. Let them cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes without stirring, then season with salt, pepper, spices, and nutritional yeast. Give a good stir and saute another 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
If you prefer a creamier consistency, add a splash of plant-based milk. Add back your cooked veggies in ( if using) or even a handful of baby spinach.
Step 5
Taste and adjust salt, garnish with green onions, and serve!
