Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) Tootie’s Tempeh, crumbled
- 1 pack mixed mushrooms, chopped
- Olive oil
- 1-2 TBSP Sky Valley Sambal Oelek Chili Paste
- For spinach-
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- Olive oil
- 1 container spinach
- For oats base-
- 1 tsp of paste/flavoring of choice (e.g., veggie stock, tom yum, or red curry)
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 TBSP flaxseed meal
- 1 TBSP Just’s unflavored mung bean protein powder (optional)
- Your choice-
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Chilli powder
- Mushroom powder
- For the Tofu-Cashew Cream-
- 1/2 block firm tofu
- 1/3 cup cashews
- Splash lemon juice
- 4-6 TBSP nutritional yeast
- 1 TBSP white miso
- 2 tsp veggie stock paste (I.e., better than bouillon)
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Black pepper
- (Optional) chili crisp to top
Instructions
- Chop mixed mushrooms into small pieces. Add olive oil to a pan on medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms. Saute for 3-4 mins. Add tempeh crumbles to the pan and continue sautéing. When browned, add some sambal paste to the pan and ensure the mixture is evenly coated. Set crumble aside and divide into 3 servings, one for that morning, the others for the next couple days.
- Now, on to the spinach: Turn heat to medium-low. Add fresh olive oil to pan and throw in minced garlic, let it crisp slightly. Add handfuls of spinach to the pan until fully cooked. Similar to the crumble mix, divvy this into 3-4 servings.
- While the spinach is cooking down, blend all your tofu-cashew cream ingredients in a blender. (Use leftovers for other meals).
- Next, the oatmeal: in a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to boil. Add your flavoring/paste of choice once boiling. Add the oats, flaxseed meal, and optional unflavored protein powder and simmer. Stir oat mixture. As it begins to absorb the water, add your spices of choice.
- Once ready, add and mix in a serving of sautéed spinach, and one heaping spoon of the tofu-cashew cream. Finally, transfer your creamy oatmeal to a bowl, top with the tempeh mushroom & sprinkle chili crisp/oil to add heat!
