Instructions
- 1Place the 1 block Firm Tofu on a clean surface and press firmly with your hands to remove as much excess water as possible. Once pressed, crumble the tofu into small, bite-sized pieces in a bowl.
- 2Place a 25.4 cm skillet on the stovetop and heat over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the 1 tablespoon of Vegetable Oil to the skillet.
- 3Add the 1/2 medium Diced Onion and 2 cloves Minced Garlic to the hot skillet. Sauté, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the onion pieces look softened and translucent.
- 4Add the 1 medium Diced Tomato to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato pieces have softened.
- 5Add the crumbled tofu, 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder, and 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast to the skillet. Stir everything together well to coat the tofu evenly.
- 6Continue to cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The tofu should be heated through and begin to show some light browning.
- 7Season the Perico Colombiano with salt and pepper to your preference. Stir once more to combine.
- 8Serve the Perico Colombiano hot.
