Ingredients
- 14 oz (396 g) Extra-firm tofu, pressed
- 1/2 cup (86 g) Black beans, canned, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup (75 g) Corn, frozen or canned, drained
- 1/4 cup (40 g) Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove (3 g) Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp (10 g) Nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp Black salt (Kala Namak)
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Olive oil
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) Soy milk, unsweetened
- pinch Salt, to taste
- pinch Black pepper, to taste
Method
- 01Crumble the pressed extra-firm tofu into a bowl. Add nutritional yeast, turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, black salt, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the tofu evenly, resembling scrambled eggs.
- 02Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat (about 325°F / 160°C). Add the finely chopped red onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- 03Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- 04Add the seasoned tofu mixture to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, allowing the tofu to heat through and slightly brown.
- 05Stir in the rinsed black beans and drained corn. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the beans and corn to heat through.
- 06If the mixture seems dry, add the unsweetened soy milk a tablespoon at a time and stir until it reaches your desired consistency. This dish is inspired by the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine, often enjoyed for breakfast but equally satisfying for dinner.
- 07Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
