veggs

Originale l’idea, ma le ho trovate difficile da cucinare

The first time @colphax and I made it we tried scrambling it because I wanted a scramble and the package said to just use it like eggs. That didn’t go well. It was all goopy and sticky and does not really scramble. I managed to flatten it out and get it crispy so it wasn’t a gunk. So, if you get this, always use it for omelettes. Since the first time we made it, we just pour it into a hot well oiled nonstick pan, tip the pan to spread it out, let it cook on one side, then flip it. We essentially treat it like a crepe, and it is very enjoyable when cooked this way. It had a nice eggy flavor that is not too overwhelming. We got a lot out of the bag, overall we had roughly 6 meals for each of us from just one bag. So, as far as vegan eggs go, the value was pretty good. It was in a plastic bag which is unfortunate, hence the 3 stars on presentation. I would also recommend they change the packaging to be more clear about how to cook it for the most enjoyment. Stating simply to use it however you use eggs led us to try making it in a way that did not work. Overall would recommend. We live in Canada and bought it when we were in Lisbon, so I don’t know where all it is available. #veganegg #lisbon #veganlisbon #veganportugal #omelette #breakfast #veganscramble #travel

My partner @malcolmcg and I bought this product in #november when we were travelling in #lisbon #portugal #europe. We brought it back to our apartment in #canada and made it for #breakfast a few times. The preparation is simple enough: mix the powdered #veganegg with water and oil. We weighed out everything on our kitchen scale and used #oliveoil as the oil. The smell of the powder is very eggy, but the taste is less pronounced, which I don’t mind as the strong sulphur egg isn’t my preference. The first time we cooked it, we tried making #scrambledeggs which didn’t work out great. The package clearly states it is good for scrambling but the texture of the mixture when it hits heat made that very difficult and made it cook unevenly. Every time since then we have stuck to a simple #veganomlette, which yields much better results. The flavour of the product is a bit of an acquired taste but now that we’ve finished the bag, we love it and are going to miss it! The things I love about this product over #justegg are that it is #shelfstable, much #cheaper, and doesn’t run out nearly as quickly. As far as #veganeggs go, I’d recommend!

Travelling in Poland and discovered this brilliant egg alternative. Pleasantly surprised by the taste and texture, given we usually use tofu. Tempted to buy a few more of these to take back home. :)
