- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika

METHOD
Put the cumin, thyme, paprika, and turmeric in a small dish. Whisk in 3 teaspoons of water to combine.
Heat oil in a big pan over medium heat. Sprinkle the tofu with salt and pepper and add it to the pan in an even layer. The undersides should be brown after 7 to 8 minutes of untouched cooking.
Stir tofu into the pan after adding the garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant, and then add the spice combination and nutritional yeast, if using. After stirring to combine all ingredients, cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, intermittently stirring, until all water has evaporated and the seasonings are fragrant.
