# How-To Steps:
01 - Set oven to 400°F (200°C).

03 - In a saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
05 - Add crumbled tofu, turmeric, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring, for 5-7 minutes until heated through and lightly golden. Sprinkle in black salt at the end for enhanced eggy flavor if desired.
06 - Add spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Adjust seasoning to taste.
07 - Divide quinoa among four bowls. Top with tofu scramble, roasted sweet potatoes, and avocado slices. Garnish with green onions and fresh herbs.
08 - Serve immediately while components are warm.
