Ingredients
1, 15.5 oz pack of organic extra firm tofu (Wildwood or Trader Joe’s)
1-2 tsp avocado oil or unrefined coconut oil (melted)
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground turmeric
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
8 large kale leaves (about 2 cups), stems removed & roughly chopped (use pre-washed baby kale in a pinch)
1-2 Tbsp water (or veggie broth)
½ cup sauerkraut or kimchi (Wildbrine)

2 slices sprouted whole grain bread (365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic Sandwich Bread, Sprouted Multigrain & Seed)
Additional Toppings/Sides
Sliced cherry/grape tomatoes
Hummus
Hemp hearts
Hot sauce

Method
Cut tofu in 3⁄4 in thick cubes. Season with 1 tsp oil and sprinkle with nutritional yeast, salt, turmeric, cayenne, and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the tofu on all sides until crisp and golden brown. Option to add 1 more tsp oil for extra crispness. Cook for 5-10 minutes.
Add kale, cover with a lid, and reduce heat to low. The steam will wilt the kale.
Kale will be done when it’s bright green and tender.
Meanwhile, toast bread.
Transfer tofu mixture to serving bowls and top with avocado and any additional toppings/sides.
