Tips and tricks

The following information will come in handy when making vegan eggs:

• If you press the tofu you will remove a lot of the water so the end result will be less watery and more creamy eggy. But this is optional.
• Kala Namak Indian black salt gives a great eggy flavor, feel free to use this instead of sea salt.
• Turmeric creates the yellow coloring, but it is optional.
• If you do not have a non-stick pan, make sure to drizzle in some oil first.
• The chickpea flour batter will seem messy, but keep at it and it will set in time.
• Prep the chickpea flour eggs in advance in one of two ways. You can either mix up the dry ingredients, then add the wet when ready to cook. Or, mix up the batter completely and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Leftover vegan eggs can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.

Measuring tips

• For the best texture you need accuracy with the flours. Which is why I include precise weights. If you don’t have a scale, then you can purchase this fairly inexpensive one.
• If you prefer to measure, then measure the flours by scooping your measuring cup into the flour but being careful not to press too much or you will get too much flour into the batter resulting in a thicker batter.

Instructions

 

Chickpea flour option:

• Whisk all ingredients but the oil in a bowl until smooth. Pour into a pan (put oil in first if using) and cook over medium low heat.
• Allow it to firm up a bit then using a spatula scramble the mixture. Keep going back and forth, allowing it to firm up then scrambling, until cooked through. It will seem messy and batter like but keep at it and it will set.

Tofu option:

• Press the tofu, optional for less watery result. If you don’t have a tofu press then you can wrap in a paper towel and stack some heavy books on top.
• As it is pressing, whisk together the rest of the ingredients (except the oil).
• Once tofu is done, use a fork to get it into scrambled like pieces.
• Add the tofu to the pan, with the oil if using, and cook over medium heat. Once it is just starting to brown, add in the milk mixture and mix into the tofu. Cook until heated. Turn down the heat if it starts to brown too much or gets too dry. You can add another tablespoon of milk if you want it to have an “eggyer” texture.

Store bought vegan egg option:

• Follow the directions on the vegan egg brand you buy. Add in any flavors or veggies you prefer.

Notes

• Add any veggies or protein you prefer.
• This is for a basic scramble, add any seasoning you prefer for extra flavors.
• If you press the tofu you will remove a lot of the water so the end result will be less watery and more creamy eggy. But this is optional.
• Nutrition facts are for chickpea flour option. Check tofu packet for nutrition and add sodium from the salt you use. Use nutrition info on vegan egg container.
