Step 1

Drain extra water from the super-firm tofu block and pat-dry with a clean towel or paper towel. If you're using firm tofu instead, press first.

Step 2

Crumble tofu with your hands to sausage crumble-like pieces. Next, set a skillet or non-stick pan over high heat.

Step 3

Add two tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, stir in tofu. Cook tofu and occasionally stir for about 10 minutes, or until there are golden bits.

Step 4

While the tofu is cooking grab a mixing bowl and whisk together soy sauce, water, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, crushed fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, red chili flakes, garlic powder, and chili powder.

Step 5

Pour the sauce over the tofu and cook for another five minutes. Turn off heat and serve.
