*use whatever veggies you have on hand if you don't have what we've suggested **this recipe can also be made with eggs (you’re limited to 2 eggs per week) or the vegan egg substitute - Just Egg, but medium tofu is the best choice for optimal weight loss

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Rip your tofu into small pieces and toss with cornstarch or arrowroot starch. (optional)

Step 2

Heat wok or round skillet or large frying pan on med-high, closer to the high side.

Step 3

Add tofu and allow it to start turning brown.

Step 4

Then add mushrooms and allow them to sweat for 5min.

Step 5

Then add all vegetables, nuts and seeds and garlic. Mix well and allow to wilt down a bit (5 minutes). Feel free to use any other veggies you have on hand!

Step 6

After 5 minutes, add spices, salts, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar and tamari or aminos. Mix well and cook for 5 min.

Step 7

Add fresh herbs, mix well, taste for spices and salts. You should get a lightly cheesy, nutty flavour, with a hint of eggy taste. You should also get an umami and slightly tangy taste from the tamari/aminos and apple cider vinegar, with a hint of smoke from the smoked paprika. If you are missing any flavours, add to suit.
