Vegan Scrambled Eggs

Tofu (bean curd) has many origin stories, from a man making it to feed his elderly parents to it being invented using a stolen Mongolian cheese-making process. What we know for certain is that it was first seen around 200BC in China, and found its way to Japan by around 800 AD. It was only by the 1960s that tofu first arrived in the West due to a rise in popularity for healthy eating. Soon after, by 1973, the first recipe that substituted eggs with tofu was created: 'tofu scramble'.

 

Typically dubbed as one of the easiest vegan recipes, tofu scramble fully utilises the creaminess of tofu to emulate the textures and flavours of the traditional egg scramble, while still sticking to the vegan moniker. Happy cooking!

  1. Mince the garlic. Finely slice the spring onions. Place the silken tofu in the food processor and blitz to a smooth cream.
