eggs

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is nutritious, while vegetable oil is often cheaper.

Ladle about 1/2 cup crushed tomatoes into a microwave-safe bowl.

Add 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin, salt (if needed), and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or paprika to the tomatoes.

Add 1 minced clove of garlic and a little olive oil, then mix well.

Slice silken tofu into 1-inch thick pieces and press them into the sauce.

Microwave the bowl using the one-touch start for 1 minute.

After 1 minute, take out the bowl and gently stir the sauce, pushing the edges in and the middle out.

Continue heating in 30-second intervals if needed, but the creator only needed the one round as the sauce was at room temperature.

Top with some chives and spoon up the tofu to reveal the contrast.

Add toasted seasoned sunflower seeds or other crunchy seeds or nuts, some more red pepper flakes, and a little olive oil for flavor.
