- Reduce heat and gently simmer for 4-12 minutes, depending on desired texture. Less time means a heartier, more textured porridge, longer cook time will result in a softer, creamier porridge.
- While porridge is cooking, prepare your tofu scramble in a separate skillet. Add crumbled tofu to the pan over medium heat and sauté for 4-5 minutes until the edges are golden. Deglaze with oil or water when needed.
- Combine the milk, nutritional yeast and spices in a bowl and pour over the tofu. Stir to combine and cook until absorbed.
- To the porridge, add the milk, a squeeze of lemon and the greens and cook until wilted. Season to taste.
- Pour into a bowl and top with tofu, additional greens, and desired toppings. Enjoy!
