12 oz silken tofu equals 300g (1 block of tofu) 1 teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder or more if desired ½ teaspoon sweet paprika powder black pepper to taste sea salt to taste 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast optional 1 sprinkle black salt optional
Cut tofu into cubes or crumble it up in your hands.
12 oz silken tofu
Add tofu to a hot (preferably non-stick) pan. No need to use oil, but feel free to do so.
Keep the pan on medium-high heat. Stir the tofu and add all the seasoning (garlic powder, black pepper, turmeric, paprika, sea salt, nutritional yeast) - leave black salt until the end!
1 teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon sweet paprika powder, black pepper, sea salt, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Keep frying gently until all the small pools of liquid are gone. There should be no visible liquid in the end.
Once the tofu is slightly crispy on the outside, remove from heat.
Sprinkle with black salt (optional) & stir before serving.
1 sprinkle black salt
Cut your tofu into larger pieces or crumble it in your hands - this is entirely up to you depending on whether you prefer larger chunks or small bits.
Tip 1 - When frying tofu, make sure NO pools of liquid remain. You want all the liquid to evaporate.
Tip 2 - If you're not using a non-stick pan I recommend adding ½ tablespoon of oil before adding tofu.
Tip 3 - Turmeric can have a slightly bitter aftertaste - if you're not a fan, use less or avoid altogether.
Adjust - Don’t forget to adjust other seasoning to taste too - especially the salt levels.
To serve - Sprinkle black salt on top of your tofu at the very end , straight before serving. Cooking black salt can reduce its flavour
