Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon black salt (kala namak) or regular salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 English muffins
  • 1 large avocado
  • 4 slices vegetarian bacon or tempeh strips
  • 4 slices cheese (cheddar, provolone, or plant-based; about 1 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup arugula or baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise (optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Equipment

  • Tofu press
  • large skillet

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Press your tofu for at least 15 minutes using a tofu press or place it between two plates with something heavy on top.
  2. Crumble the pressed tofu into a mixing bowl using your hands, creating various sizes from fine crumbles to chickpea-sized chunks.
  3. Add nutritional yeast, soy sauce, turmeric, black salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until coated.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned tofu and spread in an even layer. Let cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, then stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. While the tofu cooks, toast the English muffins until golden brown and cook the vegetarian bacon according to package directions.
  6. Assemble sandwiches by spreading vegan mayo on both halves of toasted muffins. On the bottom half, layer cheese first, then add tofu scramble, bacon, avocado slices, and greens. Top with the other muffin half. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
