Is that this your childhood too? For lots of us, this was the very first dish we ever discovered the best way to make! It is just about our introductory lesson into the kitchen, a “ceremony of passage” virtually. It is a basic dish for a motive – tremendous simple to make, so cozy and comforting, extremely flavorful and pairs amazingly with rice.
Since I went vegan I now not eat eggs – do you know 7 BILLION male child chicks are floor up alive yearly as quickly as they hatch as a result of they’re deemed “ineffective” by the egg trade? 🙁 However that does not imply I’ve to surrender my childhood fave. So I recreated this dish with Fu Zhu, or bean curd sticks, it is a sort of tofu pores and skin, just like Yuba, which is a Japanese model of tofu pores and skin.
As a substitute of simply stir-frying the tofu pores and skin with tomatoes like I’ve seen in most recipes, I seasoned them with turmeric, which makes them extra golden and nearer to precise scrambled eggs in colour, and Kala Namak, aka black salt, which provides the tofu pores and skin such a powerful eggy taste! This easy step undoubtedly takes this vegan recreation to the subsequent degree.
