Ingredients
10.5 oz (300grams)silken tofu, or soft tofu
½ cup (120 mls)unsweetened plant-based milk, it must be unflavored
2teaspoonscornstarch(corn flour in the UK), arrowroot can be used instead
1teaspoonKala Namak (Indian Black Salt), plus more to taste. Can be omitted but you won't have the eggy taste
½teaspoonfine salt, plus more to taste
½teaspoonblack pepper, plus more to taste
½teaspoononion powder
½teaspoongarlic powder
2tablespoonsvegan butter , see notes for oil-free option
12 oz (350 grams)medium firm, firm or extra firm tofu, depending how firm you want your "egg" pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
Add the silken tofu, milk, nutritional yeast, almond flour, turmeric, mustard, cornstarch, Kala Namak, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
Crumble the other block of tofu. Either use your fingers or put it on a wooden board and "mash" it with a potato masher. It works surprisingly well!
Warm a large sauté pan over a medium low heat and add the vegan butter. Let it melt then add the crumbled tofu. Allow it to cook in the butter for a minute or two and then pour in the blended tofu mixture. Stir it all up and keep stirring it every few minutes until the texture is as you like it. It's best when it is silky and very slightly runny. That takes about 5 minutes. The longer you cook it the drier it will get. It will continue to cook a little once you turn off the heat so bear that in mind.
Once ready, check the seasoning and "eggyness" and adjust salt, pepper and kala namak as necessary then serve immediately.
