For the Scrambled Tofu

Method

Prepare the Scrambled Tofu

  1. 1

    Press the Tofu

    Wrap the firm tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top to press out excess water. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

  3. 3

    Scramble the Tofu

    Crumble the pressed tofu into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Add nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly golden.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Toast the Sourdough

    While the scrambled tofu is cooking, toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Add Vegan Cheese

    Place a slice of vegan cheese on one side of each toasted sourdough slice, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the toast.

  3. 6

    Layer the Tofu

    Spoon the scrambled tofu mixture onto one slice of the sourdough with melted cheese.

  4. 7

    Add Avocado and Cilantro

    Top the scrambled tofu with sliced avocado and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

  5. 8

    Finish the Sandwich

    Place the second slice of sourdough on top, cheese side down. Add hot sauce to taste if desired.
