Cook the tofu for a few minutes, ensuring it is coated in the melted butter.

Add black salt and black pepper to taste, using black salt for an eggy flavor.

Pour in 3 tablespoons of plant-based milk for moisture.

Mash the tofu slightly while mixing to ensure spices are well incorporated and not visible.

Garnish with chives and optionally add red chili flakes for color.
