Chickpea flour and black salt make for eggcellent omelettes. Taste and texture wise,
post
Specifically for omelettes, I've heard good things about chickpea flour.
Justegg and similar products work well. For a scramble, use tofu. For baking, use powdered egg replacer or a flax egg. For general cooking, use aquafaba.
Awesome thanks
What about a crepe (died yellow with turmeric) filled with a tofu scramble and a white sauce?
For the white sauce, you could do cashew milk, oil, flower for the start and then add wheat gluten and nutritional yeast.
That way you get the solid outside gushy inside of am egg omelet
JustEgg is great for omelettes. I also use it to make egg sandwiches with some vegan cheddar. It already approximates the egg flavor and texture out of the container. It's relatively expensive though, and your local grocery may not carry it.
I always see Kala Namak suggested on the Internet, but I've never seen it in the grocery. If you have an Indian grocer near you, they might carry it, otherwise you'll likely need to order online. I used to try to approximate scrambled eggs with tofu, but I ended up liking the tofu scramble (without Kala Namak) so much that I haven't had a craving for anything resembling scrambled eggs.
I also used to do deviled potatoes with JustMayo and steamed baby potatoes. My local grocery stopped carrying JustMayo, so I stopped making them 🤷♀️
To add to the chickpea praise, I have done a mix of half soft tofu, half chickpea flour, and some cornstarch to thicken and then treat it like you would eggs seasoning wise. Made it before for a friend (not vegan myself) and they really enjoyed it. Hope you do as well!
Microwaved smoked tofu. Scramble it with a fork. Feels and tastes a lot like scrambled eggs.
I made this vegan burger patty once using tofu and it was a massive failure as a burger but it was the perfect substitute for scrambled eggs. I lost the recipe and it has been bothering me for years, so if anyone finds a recipe for a vegan burger that is actually vegan scrambled eggs... Lmk.
