Instructions

Remove tofu from package, and press it by wrapping it in paper towels and placing it between two plates with something heavy on top for 5 minutes, to allow extra liquid to drain off tofu. (Alternatively, you can use a tofu press—learn more here.)
Place tofu in a bowl and separate it with your hands to achieve a crumbly texture. Mix in nutritional yeast, turmeric, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt (optional), and plant-based milk.
Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté green onions, garlic, and mushrooms for about 5 minutes.
Add crumbled tofu, chopped greens, and sun-dried tomatoes and sauté just until greens start to wilt (about 2 minutes). Serve immediately. May serve with sliced avocados, if desired.
Makes 6 servings (about ¾ cup each)
