I'm a big fan of plant-based meats (otherwise, I'd have never stuck with vegetarian diet), but where do you even get plant based eggs? Are those new? Like, I've never seen them before but really want to try them. I'm lacto/ovo vegetarian but lactose intolerant and can't afford eggs, so right now this is about as close to vegan as I've ever been.
For me the replacement depends on the culinary use it replaces.
For scrambles: Brick of extra firm tofu, sliced and crumbled to scrambled egg texture. Mix in 1tsp turmeric, 1tsp black pepper, optional 1tsp garlic powder. Heat up in a pan stirring occasionally, and the turmeric turns it yellow. Once cooked add the secret ingredient: Black salt / kala namak, a salt with a strong sulfur taste (Do this at the end as heat destroys that taste).
For fried: A mung bean-based liquid mix like Just Egg. If you don't want to pay the vegan tax for a bottle of Just it's easy and cheap to diy in the kitchen, lots of recipes out there.
For baking: A tapioca and starch-based mix like Bob's Red Mill egg replacer.
Thank you! I’ve wanted to do this for a long time and a few recipes I tried out were terrible.
