- Tofu: 200 g (7 oz) firm tofu (pressed and cubed), 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp olive oil
- Vegetables: 2 cups kale (stems removed and chopped), 2 green onions (thinly sliced), 1 ripe avocado (peeled, pitted, and sliced), 1 small lemon (cut into wedges)
- Optional Additions: 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Step 1
- Pat the tofu dry with paper towels, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
- Step 2
- In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

- Step 4

- Step 5
- Stir in the green onions and cook for 1 minute more, then remove skillet from heat.
- Step 6

- Step 7
- Top each bowl with avocado slices and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast and pumpkin seeds, if using.
- Step 8
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure the tofu gets truly crispy, make sure to press as much water out of it as possible before cubing. Using a heavy-bottomed or high-quality nonstick skillet will help achieve that perfect golden exterior without the tofu sticking to the pan. If you find the kale is a bit tough, you can massage it with a tiny bit of olive oil before adding it to the skillet.

Varianten und Anpassungen
This recipe is highly versatile; feel free to swap the kale for baby spinach or Swiss chard if you prefer a milder green.

Häufige Fragen zum Rezept
- → Wie lange hält sich zubereiteter Tofu im Kühlschrank?
Zubereiteter Tofu hält sich im verschlossenen Behälter bis zu drei Tage im Kühlschrank. Bewahren Sie die Beilagen wie Avocado und Grünkohl am besten getrennt auf, um Frische zu erhalten.
- → Kann ich den Tofu durch andere Proteinquellen ersetzen?
Ja, Tempeh, Seitan oder Kichererbsen eignen sich hervorragend als Alternative. Beachten Sie jedoch, dass die Garzeit variieren kann – Tempeh benötigt etwa 8-10 Minuten.
- → Welche Gewürze passen besonders gut zu Tofu?
Neben Kurkuma und Paprika eignen sich Knoblauchpulver, Kreuzkümmel, Chiliflocken oder Sojasauce hervorragend. Experimentieren Sie nach Belieben für Ihren persönlichen Geschmack.
- → Ist dieses Gericht mealprep-freundlich?
Absolut – der gewürzte Tofu und die Kale lassen sich hervorragend vorbereiten. Fügen Sie Avocado und Zitronenkeile erst vor dem Servieren hinzu, um Oxidation zu vermeiden.
- → Wie kann ich den Geschmack intensivieren?
Ein Spritzer Zitronensaft vor dem Servieren, eine Prise Meersalz oder etwas Hefeflocken verstärken die Aromen. Für mehr Würze eignet sich auch etwas scharfe Soße.
