Ingredients
  

  • 1 block 14 oz / 400g firm tofu, crumbled
  • ⅓ cup silken tofu 100 g
  • 1½ cups asparagus trimmed, peeled if needed, and sliced diagonally into 1-inch pieces, about 12-15 asparagus spears
  • 1½ tbsp oil olive oil or any neutral oil
  • 1½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 –3 tsp nutritional yeast optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 2 –3 tbsp unsweetened plant milk optional, for texture
  • ½ tsp kala namak or regular salt, added at the end

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a non-stick or well-seasoned skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and just tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Crumble the entire block of tofu directly into the pan using your hands. Stir well and cook for 3–4 minutes until some of the moisture cooks off and the tofu starts to develop a bit of texture.
  • Add the silken tofu, mustard, nutritional yeast (if using), and more black pepper. Stir until fully combined and let it cook for another 2–3 minutes. If the mixture looks dry or starts sticking, add a splash of plant milk and stir again.
  • Turn off the heat and finish with kala namak. Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.
