You'll LOVE Tofu Egg & Mushroom Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
Quick Mushroom Bacon
While not actually bacon, this is the superior vegan version. It's flavored with those smoky, sweet, umami flavors you would get from bacon. But no little piggies were harmed.
Quickly toss the sliced mushrooms of your choice in tamari, maple syrup and smoked paprika and you are good to go! Cook to your desired crispness. I personally like mine browned just enough for a little added texture, but not too crispy.
Pan "fried" Tofu Egg
This is one of my favorite ways to eat tofu! It's super low effort and I leave any leftovers in the fridge for a sandwich the next day. It stores very well and is great for prepping for an easy breakfast the next day.
Have you tried Kala Namak? It's been the biggest game changer in my life as a vegan. The eggy-ness that it brings to a dish is mind-blowing, it is really unlike any other flavor.
A little goes a long way and no tofu egg or scramble is complete without it in my opinion.
Did you know you can pan fry your tofu without oil?? It takes a little patience, but the payoff is great. Cook your tofu on a medium-low heat. If you go to flip your tofu and it's sticking to the pan, give it another minute or two and check again.
The tofu will build up a crisp layer on the outside and will break free from the pan as this happens. I have to admit. I'm not always patient and sometimes I just force it off with my spatula, but really, if you can be patient, you'll get a nice crisp bite on the outside and a soft eggy inside. Perfect for your breakfast sammie.
