black salt

🥗Healthier: sea salt

💰Cheaper: table salt

Black salt adds a unique flavor but can be substituted with regular salts.

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

Drain the excess liquid from the silken tofu.

Melt 1 tablespoon of vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the silken tofu to the skillet and break it up slightly, being careful not to overdo it since it's soft.

Cook the tofu, stirring occasionally, to help dry it out a bit since silken tofu is quite wet.

Once the tofu starts sizzling, add 1 teaspoon of turmeric and stir well to incorporate.

Add 1 teaspoon of black salt (Kala Namak) to give it an eggy flavor and stir to combine.

Add a little bit of nutritional yeast and mix it in thoroughly.

Let the mixture cook down until it's not too soggy and has the desired texture.
