I miss the tastes, the textures, the protein... but mostly I miss the versatility.
Being vegan takes a level of creativity, experimentation and curiosity. You can definitely substitute eggs to (basically) achieve the same results and a lot of this people's experiments with this have been documented on the internet, like here.
I really wanted to make something quick and easy - tofu scramble.
It's got all the perks of a traditional scramble, you can use whatever you have, you can tailor the taste to whatever you want (spicy, 'erb-y, salty, sweet and sour), it's quick and it's yum; just minus the egg! Win :)
- Tofu (I've used silken)
- Whatever you want! - but I've used:
- Baby Spinach
- Carrot
- Onion
- Mushroom
- Tomato
- Bok Choy
- Beans
- Rosemary + Salt & Pepper
Method:
- Basically the same as scrambled eggs. Heat oil in fry pan, add seasoning and onion and fry till brown
- Gently fry other ingredients
- Add tofu - cook till you just have to eat it!
I've served mine with Quinoa and Rye bread toasted with avocado and wholegrain mustard - Yummers xD
