I have lost over 50 pounds and reversed heart issues. A plant based lifestyle has totally changed my life and brought back my health, energy and vitality! The journey all started when I watched the movie Forks Over Knives - to get your own copy of this life changing dvd, visit my affiliate page on Amazon if interested at amzn.to/1MgHoDy And I also read The China Study: amzn.to/1MgHsDt
500 gm block firm tofu, halved
Chop one half (like egg white)
Smoosh other half (like egg yolk)
1 t turmeric
1 t garlic powder
1 t onion powder
Cook to the sizzle, adding 1/4 water
Dressing:
1 can butter beans, incl liquid
1 T dijon mustard
1 lg clove garlic (optional)
2 t fresh lemon juice
1 t black salt (for eggy flavor)
Blend to smooth & creamy
Add dressing to tofu, about half
Add chopped scallions (optional)
Add fresh cracked black pepper
I had to laugh because I would have never thought of chopping some and also crumbling some - genius technique! A beautiful recipe that I will try. Thanks!
+Farmword Enjoy :-)
O my word Anja it’s the best. Took me two weeks to find black salt but worth every bite Made scramble egg and toast( of course your bread recipe) and it’s amazing . Been craving egg for four months since plantbased wow wow wow
I just had to tell you that yours is truly the BEST vegan egg salad I have ever had. I have tried many different recipes, but yours truly nails it. I did use vegan mayo instead of your dressing, but the way you cooked and seasoned yours made a huge difference :) Thank you!
I made this yesterday, and WOW, it is awesome! Not only does it taste great, but it looks like the traditional egg version. I hope to live in a world where THIS version is the traditional, and the egg version is the less used! Thank you for sharing this recipe! Love your videos!
I just turned vegan and these recipes will be a lifesaver. Thanks so much and can't wait to try this!
+Dog Bean Welcome to the awesome vegan lifestyle :-) Glad you like the recipes. You might also want to check out www.nutritionfacts.org on lots of great info re: plant foods, nutrients etc
OMG I had this at the Vegan Tasting in Charleston WV last month & it is a GAMECHANGER! The VERY 1ST time I haven't spit tofu out !!! It was INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS & since then, I even found a recipe to make chickpea tofu ♡ I ADORE chickpeas & cannot wait to get my black salt so I can enjoy "eggs" again!!! #BLESSED #GRATITUDE #NOMORE22S #120GONE #StillLosingWeight
I bumped into this YT by chance; I'm feeling lucky. This is the first cooking demo I come across that ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATES AS IT EXPLAINS! No intro blurb that's so annoying when you're in a hurry to know how and what to do... Lady if your other demos are like this, you're my mentor. My thumbs up for this video! I've got all the ingredients in the kitchen; I'll try it now!!!
FYI all Indian stores sell black salt (pink in color) as Indians use it in vegetarian chaat recipes also in Indian lemonade
Yes! It may say Kala Namak on the packet. Kala = black, Namak = salt.
If you don't have tofu you can cook a broad, fat, chunky form of pasta (like fusili, rotini, rigatoni, etc.) until it's really soft/soggy and cut it up into small pieces and use it instead of tofu - that's what they do in Germany. This is a fantastic recipe - thank you for sharing! This is one of my go-tos for easy take to work lunch.
So glad you like the recipe. I'm German but have never heard of doing that. Sounds like a great alternative for those that don't eat soy. Have a great day and greetings from Australia :-)
Thank you, Anja :) I love your channel and have been following you for a while. The use of noodles was made popular by Bjorn Mochinski, a vegan celebrity chef in Germany. I really like tofu though and playing with the texture like you do :) I don't know if you speak German but here's a video from youtube where Mochinski does a demo on a talkshow ua-cam.com/video/qMGowT6yJso/v-deo.html
I started watching your channel last year when I was a poor college student with little means for grocery shopping or cooking, and it was quite difficult to recreate a lot of your recipes. Now I'm working full time, and I have a car and an apartment with a full kitchen. I'm soooo excited to go try more of your recipes now!! :D
Fantastic! So lovely that you have been following me for such a long time. Enjoy your new found freedom!!!
Add pickle and paprika, and that's perfect!
Ive been vegan for 7 months now and really confuse what to eat.. Theres not much foods option here in my country.. Thankyou for your recipe!! Im gonna cook my own food starting from now 😁😁😁😁
+prihan Congratulations on your vegan journey :-) Also, check out my 30 days of vegan for lots of simple ideas on what to eat for breakfast, lunch an dinner: ua-cam.com/play/PLkcuLPj9AYfu6Xdcfp-UBzmxQ3HFbu7FK.html
Plant foods are available in every country, no? Fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts/seeds. I think when people are confused they are over thinking it. And since you have access to the internet (which is full of recipe ideas) there's surely no room for being confused as to what to eat.
What country? Hows your vegan journey going?
I switched to a clean/vegan diet 6 months ago and I'm so glad I found your channel you've got some amazing recipes!! Thank you for sharing and all that you do. Keep it up!!
I just had to come to this video to let you know I tried this recipe this weekend and it's so good! It has so much flavor, the texture is great and that salt really gave it that egg flavor. It was so easy to make as well. I don't know what I'd do without your channel. You have made my vegan journey so easy and I'm so thankful!
+E Lynn I'm so glad that I have been able to help make your vegan journey easy :-) That's why I started this channel and I'm glad to hear that I am fulfilling my dream x
looks so good. i'm going to have to make this tonight.
+Vicky Shaw Enjoy!
An amazing recipe which I enjoy very often. I think it tastes even better when cold from the fridge :)
As I don;t like tumeric, I had a bit of leftover boiled carrot which I pureed and added it to give it the egg colour. Still delicious :) Thanks so much!
Just found you, love your channel! It is probably the best vegan cooking channel on youtube. Thank you so much for these videos! I am going to do so many of your recipes and you get my full support as well as a lifelong fan here! So excited to go through your awesome channel! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
+Marilyn Yusuf Welcome Marilyn :-) So glad you like the recipes and channel x
+Marilyn Yusuf Try the minced beef from cauliflower - it's way, way better tasting than ground beef and way healthier too! :)
+B-ryan Just curious - do you whack off while you troll vegan sites on your computer in your mommy's basement?
+Char Covelesky Char, that was mean Char.
+Liane Blanco you can now buy vegan mince in Tesco n Sainsburys supermarkets
Wow! That dressing is fabulous! Excellent recipe.
Thank you so much
Just had this today, so good!! Really who needs oil! Thank you!!
I've just binged watched your videos and you have a great personality, really shines through
+I Bleed Pink Thank you so much x
Thank-you!! The black salt is also good, sprinkled lightly over an avocado. That egg flavour comes through.
I will have to increase the garlic and add chopped celery and dill. I do love the added depth of celery and dill.
Don't like tofu? Then try akee. A yellow fruit mild enough to replace egg. Sold canned at caribbean food stores or online. Plus it is not processed the way tofu is.
+Nikki Jones Yes! Akee is very nutritional and tastes just like scrambled eggs. When I don't have time to prepare/cook the akee myself. I usually buy from the many Caribbean, and asian restaurants/markets in my area. Very tasty and good.
Yes akee tastes really good but it has 240mg of sodium per 100g and 15gs of fat, 3g of protein and 150 calories where as Firm tofu is only 63 calories, 7g of protein, 3g of fat and 18mg of sodium
@@orlenecharles6590 the sodium is from the brine, so a rinse will work
I just made this: it's really good!
So glad you like it :-)
beautiful. easy and quick. ill be trying, thanks!
My husband and I have been eating a vegan diet for a little more than a year now - he's much more dedicated than I - but I'm getting there thanks to folks like you with ideas and tips like this! Egg salad is the one egg dish I really miss so this made me very happy! Thank you!
+nanajodi201 So glad the recipes are helping you :-) Well done to both of you x
Yes. Very vital to this dish to cook the tofu. It holds up better when dressing is added and tastes great.
glad you like it :-)
This looks absolutely amazing. I will have to try it.
+Long Player Kitchen Enjoy :-)
Haha I seriously thought this said cooking with PANTS lol I was like, what is the story behind this!?
What a clever dressing for the Tofu "Egg" Salad!!! Beans, garlic, dijon mustard, lemon 🍋 juice, black salt 😋 YUM!
I just made this alongside the real thing for my husband (who is not quite ready to transition from vegetarian to vegan). I had to taste both versions to make sure the seasoning was right, and I was pleasantly surprised at the degree of similarity. The vegan version would not fool my husband, but it is plenty close enough for me. Thank you very much for this "doppelgänger"!
Wooohoooooooo
Okay, this is what I’m having tomorrow with some toasted bread!!
Enjoy!
going to try this soon! looks like the best recipe i have seen.
Great idea, to prepare the tofu two different ways for the different textures. I'm gonna try this one!
Wow---I'd forgotten how much I used to love egg salad. Will deffo do this!!
Thanks, Anya!!
+Ruthann Amarteifio Enjoy :-)
Awesome baby with a capital A. Tonight going to my favorite health food store for the ingredients
So glad you like it as much as I do. Remember too that you can print all of the recipes off my website at www.cookingwithplants.com
I have to try this... I really do miss egg salad... really looks delish. Thank you for sharing ✌🤗👌
Thanks, Anja. This will be a great go to lunch recipe.
Excellent video, excellent recipe, very impressed and grateful! Thank you!
+Cheryl Houghton Glad you like it :-)
Oe, you gave me some good ideas. This is a whole different way to make egg salad. My mom used to make hers using mayo, mustard and a little celery and pickle relish (of course I substitute everything with the vegan options). I'm now going to try this recipe to make my potato salad. Thanks for the new ideas.💞
We are all thankful, but most of all, you are saving the world little by little
you're my favourite vegan food channel your recipes are very easy and quick and use lots of household foods , most vegan channels use foods I've never herd of and local super markets don't stock , I can't wait to try this recipe it looks fab !
Thank you so much for your lovely comment :-) I'm so happy to hear that :-)
I’m at 6:09 and salivating profusely over here. I’ve made it similarly but not cooked. I’m very intrigued by your recipe and definitely want to try that. It’s incredible how versatile tofu is and especially what kind of tofu.
love the recipe i am making it tonight..thanks love your channel!!
Thank you so much, this looks great!
+Anna Fisher Glad you like it :-)
I have made tofu egg salad many times, but I never cooked it. Anyway, this looks very good and I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Trying my best to go 100% vegan and was craving an egg sandwich recently. Cant wait to try this. Thanks.
This looks fantastic...definitely a great transition meal
YUMMY DELICIOUS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING
Hi, I'm just wondering what else you use the left over beans for? Thanks for the recipe.
Salads, soups, mashed with avocado etc
Just made this and it is fantastic!!! Thanks so much :)
+Cherie Stokes Glad you like it :-)
I must try the butter bean mix, I make the tofu black salt for scrambled and egg sandwiches, I use vegan mayo, but this butter bean version must be so much healthier with out the oil Thank you
OMG this recipe looks so yummy! I love your addition of black salt, this ingredient is so magical for vegans! Thank you for all your nice video recipes! Kisses from France =)
+Marine Tenfou (Stania) So glad you like the recipes :-) x
That looks so yummy! In my country, it is usually done with cress and curry in it. I will try to find the black salt. Thanks for the recipe! :)
+Linda Christiansen Yum, the addition of cress and curry sounds perfect :-)
this is really different from what i do but i'm going to try it when i get some beans (i'll probably add some chopped celery, parsley and peppers/capsicums but that's what i put in mine). i usually don't precook the tofu and i use veganaise but i'm trying to cut down on added oil so this is worth a try.
i tried to post this at pinterest and facebook but the thumbnail picture doesn't show up.
+kokoro nagomu It should work now with the thumbnail :-)
Oh I'm SO trying that!
wow I have to try this!
Yum! I want to try tofu as well! I haven’t tried chickpeas or tofu yet but I’m excited! Thank you !
Am really excited about your channel that I just discovered. Can't wait to try many of your recipes--they look really good. Thank you!!!
So glad to have you here... welcome!
What an amazing idea. I had actually noticed that tofu, the way it's added plain in miso soup tastes like egg white. So I'm sure this recipe will be amazing! Will have to try it soon. Thank you again!
+Ellinides Nipiagogoi Stin Agglia Enjoy!
Greetings. I'm new to a whole food plant based lifestyle and am trying to carefully find my way. Your channel is very informative. Thank you so very much for sharing.
Apparently, butter beans are lima beans in the US
+Alex Lee yes :-) Thanks for letting everyone know Alex, much appreciated.
+CookingWithPlants youre welcome! :-)
+Alex Lee They're the same type of bean, but butter beans are "mature" (whitish in color) and lima beans are "immature" (green in color). For me, a Floridian, there is a marked difference between the two. I would never call what Anja used "lima beans".
+zeekifyable i see..hmm ive just personally never seen them in stores in California but maybe its because I didnt know what they were. Thanks!!
In Australia Lima beans are the white color. So confusing. For the sake of this recipe, any white beans should work :-)
Hi Anja, Thank you for another great recipe! I have a question about what brand tofu you get in Australia, please?
Also... any chance you could put your recipe-inventing brilliance toward making a vegan/tofu hot dog? (Am I pushing my luck?? haha). Those ones at the supermarket are full of yucky things.
+Aurora Rei I use the organic brand from woolies. I'll add the tofu dog to my to do list :-) Glad you like the recipes.
Many thanks for the reply. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for it!
This is so delicious, just made some, didn’t have the black salt but will definitely look out for some. I also added some finely chopped celery for a bit of crunch.. Here comes avocado and ‘egg salad’ wraps with rocket and spinach for lunch ..... whole food plant based rocks , love your Chanel and that dressing 👌👌👌 thanks again, Jules from Oz
This is a killer recipe, Anya. Thank for the video. Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada.
This looks delicious. I will try chopped green or black olives in it and celery.
Thank you. This looks delicious and sounds so easy I think even I can make it.
You're awesome and your recipes are spectacular! Thank you for making being vegan easy and fun!
Awwww thank you so much :-)
Looks great. I’m going to add chopped green olives too.
Great idea! 💚
That's astounding, it's exactly like boiled eggs. Thanks for making vegan easy Anja!
+Patricia McDonald Glad you like it :-)
Hello, thank you for this recipe, it’s amazing. Do you have any ideas of what I could do with the other half of the sauce? Also how long would you say the mixture lasts for? x
I'm just wondering if we could use other white beans, such as canned cannellinis or great northerns, or if the specific flavor of the canned butterbeans (limas) is inherent to the salad dressing recipe ???
One of the great things with vegan home made recipe i find is that usually you can swap an ingredient for another. So dont hesitate to modify to suit your preferences and go experiment. It's a whole new world of cuisine to discover and with room for your own creativity to explore. :-)
Hi Anja. I am a subscriber to your wonderfully innovative recipes on You Tube. Think your fab. And warm wishes from the south of England 😘. I have today made this recipe and it’s really great. When I tasted it however and adjusted it with a little more salt and black peeper I felt there was something just slightly missing.... don’t know if you have it where you are...... Salad Cream! I know it is not an ‘up there’ epicurean condiment but boy a few (or more) tablespoons added and a bit less of your beans mix and I’m in there eating egg mayonnaise! Thanks for amazing recipe. Ps I used Asda dairy free salad cream which you can find in the ‘Free From’ section. X
TOMATO ORGANIC KETCHUP WOULD BE MARVELOUS WITH THIS..
Loving your new cook book Luv... We made the satay noodle dish last night...
"Tastebud Party!" LOL you rock, love your recipes!
+NatureGirl Kristen Thanks :-)
is it possible to make this with silken tofu?
i live in a country that has little to no plant based food items, apart from vegetables ofcourse.
so often vegan recipes are close to impossible for me to make unless i order things online :(
+Anonymaeg It should be ok, but will be a lot softer
+Anonymaeg Try making it with chickpeas instead
Making this today!
It's amazing
A tip. Sprinkle some smoked paprika powder over it :D
+Nathalie (Pineappletree) Great tip :-)
I am so happy I found this channel..... So simple and heathy.......can't wait to start cooking your recipes
That was awesome how everything literately looked like an egg salad
Most of the recipes for vegan egg salad I find have vegan mayo (made with oil). I'm excited to try it with butter beans instead.
It's so good!
I think I will add a bit of olive oil to it.
I always wait to see the rating if you shake your hands it''s perfect. I can't wait to try this
When I ate eggs, I made my egg salad with mayo and sweet pickle plus some pickle juice. Since your beans are the replacement for the mayo, do you think I would still be able to use the sweet pickles instead of scallions? How do you think those flavors would mix with the garlic powder and onion powder that you added?
+Shelia Owens Just use her method as the base and you'll have the "eggs." Then make as you would with real eggs. I did it her way first, then another batch later, I made it with pickles and everything I liked in regular egg salad. Both were great, but I preferred the one like I used to enjoy. I've been making mock egg salad for years, but never cooked the tofu. Her basic recipe is the BEST.
Shelia Owens yes! When I first transitioned I did her tofu ad added black salt to the tofu then used vegan mayo and sweet pickles. I'm oil free now and you can do her sauce which is wonderful, I don't like scallions so I use pickles, or make an oil free mayo :)
Shelia Owens you could just purchase vegan mayo taste like the real thing anyway
It seems like mayo has a sour flavor so switching to beans would seem to call for keeping the pickle and pickle juice, if you like it that way. I just had a deconstructed tofu egg salad and got pretty much the same flavor with vinegar-pickled vegetables and tofu.
Anya I am so enjoying this new journey as a vegan thanks to your great recipes.
Fabulous... welcome to the lifestyle and the amazing taste sensations that are now available to you :-)
you are amazing!!!!!! love your page!!! cant wait to try this one :))
Cant wait to make this. Thank you
Enjoy!
Just made this for Sunday brunch, used okara for the crumbly bits, cooked five minutes,
then added the chopped tofu. Good with chives too. Very eggy and tasty. Thanks for the recipe!
PS, just finished it in lieu of the hardboiled eggs my OH likes with his beetroot ovenbaked chips. Much better than egg!!
So glad you like the recipe as much as I do :-)
That looks like a great egg sandwhich recipe. Will have to try it. :)
+B-ryan oh my gosh you're such a troll!
I will diffidently try it out. Thank you
+Fokaira Enjoy!
Im trying to be a vegan but i do love eggs so thanks for saving my life 😍😍😍 gonna make this today! U r brilliant ❤️
+Miss Maya yulia You can do it :-) x
Hi Anya, I am not a vegan, but it is something I have been thinking a lot about lately and am begining to experiemnt more and more with different recipes. I came across your channel and have been enjoying watching your videos. I decided to give them a try. This is the first one I have made. I must admit, I was a little skeptical at first, but your enthusiasm encouraged me to give it a go and by the time I could smell the black salt in the butter bean dressing, I was really excited. That is delicious and I am even going to try it over a salad, but on this "egg" it really amazed me. Keep the videos coming! Loving them :-)
+Mark Wilson Fantastic! So glad you are enjoying the recipes :-) Vegan foods tastes so amazing and when you think the taste of "meat" and "dairy" comes from the flavorings, you soon realize that you can eat this way forever without having to harm animals :-) x
All good - looks very delicious and nutritious. What about adding a touch of red - either marinated or roasted red pepper strips?
+alchemistoxford Yes, you can add any extra flavors that you like.
+CookingWithPlants Flavor and color - red, yello and green are essential to balanced vegan/vegetarian dishes - peppers, paprika, etc. love the idea of turmeric in the vegan egg salad - and the black salt.
alchemistoxford Thank, so glad you like it :-)
I remember asking you for this recipe! Thank you for doing my request (intentionally or not haha)! I like how you prepared the tofu in 2 different ways, and I never knew about that "eggy" black salt! Love your tips. :)
+TheKatalicious17 I forgot to mention it was your request. I took it off my to do list so it was definitely your one :-) Glad you like it x
New to your channel and to vegan cooking, your recipes are a life saver!
She is a great cook 😮, vegan delicious recipes
So likable
thanks
Love it, your the greatest !
