Traditional Yemeni Slow-Cooked Tofu Bowl

Assemble the ingredients: tofu, stock, cumin, turmeric, onion, bay leaf, black pepper.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the tofu and cook until slow-cooked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Yemeni flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Yemeni accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
