The other day, I wanted a really simple breakfast, so I crumbled up the tofu and added the general spices I would add to a scramble and served it in a sandwich with my spicy mustard dip.
Hubbs tried some and exclaimed.. ooh this is so much likeΒ scrambled eggs. I was like, why havenβt we done this before. Hubbs ate the whole bowl by himself and I had to make more..
This is a great base recipe, add crunchy veggies, cheese or other flavors to taste.
Now Β if only i could find a gluten-free vegan bread that looks that good.

Amazing! I used more mayo and added probably 2.5 the amount of black salt. So much like egg salad.
perfect
I absolutely love this egg sandwich recipe. The seasoning used for the eggs I use all the time whether Iβm making scrambled eggs or an omelet just tastes so good.
versatile ~ love it
I had some pressed tofu in the fridge. I was thisclose to making a scramble for lunch. Then I remembered this recipe. Oh my! So delicious and so easy to make. I tossed in some cherry tomatoes and cukes. Absolutely a winner!
It was delicious, thank you! I will revisit this recipe frequently π
hooray!!
What is the βpinkishβ sauce that you show on your sandwich? Iβm always looking for good spreads.
I havenβt tried this yet, but have both your cookbooks and love, love, love your recipes. One of the few that I donβt have to up the spices to get good flavor. Thank you!
Itβs the spicy mustard dip from my pretzels post https://fettabbau-trim.today/vegan-pretzel-bites-spicy-mustard-dip/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
It was delicious! Thanks for the recipe π
Has a nice flavor but it doesnβt taste anything like eggs or egg salad to me.
Did you add some kala namak?
I used your recipe for my first time preparing tofu today because it looked easy and delicious β so glad I did! I was kind of intimidated by tofu and it had been sitting in my fridge for a while; I am transitioning to a plant based way of eating so I am basically re-building my whole diet. I was totally unfamiliar with eating anything with tofu. This recipe was just so easy and in the end it tastes just like egg salad. I was blown away. I ate it on an Ezekiel english muffin and on the side with some spinach. I really am going to have no problem sticking to this new diet with delicious meals like this. π Thank you for giving me such a fantastic introduction to tofu!
Awesome!
Best Tofu Egg Salad on this planet. Amazing! If you want to replicate taste of egg salad donβt leave out the black salt (kala namak).
Yes indeed!
Richa, so the tofu is raw crumbled with the spices etc? Iβve seen references to cooked βscrambled eggsβ with similar ingredients, but not seen it raw as a salad. Sounds nice though β might make this over the Festive Period (along with Lentil and Quinoa loaf for the centrepiece).
yes it is raw. if you cook it the tofu flavor gets stronger. It works in scrambles where there wouldbe even more herbs and spices. Here its a cold salad
