Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces by hand rather than mashing—this creates a more egg-like texture.
Add the turmeric and nutritional yeast to the almond milk mixture first to distribute the flavor evenly before adding to the pan.
Don't overcook; once the tofu is heated through and begins to brown slightly at the edges (2-3 minutes), it's done.
Sauté the onion until softened before adding the tofu to build flavor depth and ensure even cooking.
