Ingredients

  • 1 block of extra firm tofu 400 g
  • 350-500 mL of JustEgg I sometimes use a full carton, sometimes I use less. It's up to you!
  • 2-3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp vegan fish sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup chopped flat chives OR 3 green onions diced
  • 1/2 tsp white or black pepper or to taste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp kala namak black salt for extra eggy flavour.

Instructions

  • In a large pan, use a fork to break up the block of tofu. I like having organic pieces of various sizes in but feel free to break it up as big or small as you like.
  • Add 350-500 mL of JustEgg. The more you add, the bouncier the overall scramble will be. I have cartons of 500 mL but I also sometimes just use a full 355 mL bottle.
  • Use a bit of water to get any remnants of the vegan egg mixture out of the carton and add to the pan.
  • Season with 2 tbsp vegan fish sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 cup chopped flat chives or green onions, and 1/2 tsp white or black pepper. Stir to mix everything well. If you want extra eggy flavour, add black salt (you can reduce the vegan fish sauce to limit the sodium)
  • Turn on the element on medium heat and start to cook, stirring occasionally. Add about 1 tbsp vegetable oil if you find things are starting to stick (I have a pretty good non-stick pan so I don't usually find I need this but it depends on the day)
  • Cook until you have some bits that are lightly browned and the mixture has a nice, bouncy texture from everything being cooked through.
