 16 ounces extra firm tofu
 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Open and drain the liquid from the tofu package. Place the tofu between 2 plates. Weight the top plate with a heavy object for 20 minutes. Remove the tofu from the plates, draining and discarding the liquid. Crumble or cube tofu and toss with turmeric and black salt.

Steam green beans for about 5 minutes, until almost cooked (still crunchy), and drain.

3

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté for 4 minutes.

4

Add green beans and spices. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on medium-low heat.

5

Add water or vegetable broth. 1 tablespoon at a time (as needed).

6

In the same skillet, add soy chorizo or sausage and tamari sauce, cooking for 2 minutes, stirring often.

7

Add tofu to the skillet, folding gently to combine. Cover until the tofu is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

8

Add salt and freshly ground pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
