Ingredients

  • 14 oz silken tofu
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 medium white onion
  • 1 tsp garlic-infused oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 medium red bell pepper
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 2 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1 cup cremini mushrooms
  • 2 green onions
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 0.25 cup cilantro
  • 2 lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. 1Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced white onion, red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and cauliflower florets for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender. Add garlic-infused oil and ginger, cooking for another minute.
  2. 2Crumble the pressed silken tofu directly into the skillet. Stir in turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, allowing the tofu to brown slightly and absorb the flavors.
  3. 3Add sliced cremini mushrooms and baby spinach leaves to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring until the spinach is wilted and mushrooms are tender.
  4. 4Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve hot with lemon wedges for a bright finish.
