Ingredients looking for egg texture
Use chickpea flour as the base.
Chickpea flour is often a good choice Egg substitutes for savory recipes.

For softness, add tofu
give soft For your veggie omelet, tofu is your ally!
You can do without it, but to be honest, it’s not too rich and a little dry, and I’m not a big fan of it.
But with tofu, you have two options. You can use silken tofu or aged tofu.
These two types of tofu are completely different products in terms of their consistency and uses, They should not be confused.
So, the first option, and the simplest, is Silken tofu.
You can find them in organic stores and Asian produce stores.
It is a white bean product with a very pleasant texture, somewhere between cream and jelly. It holds together, but not too much, you see.
you can Crush and defeat it easily Mix it with the chickpea flour using a fork or blender.
Your second possibility is to use A mixture of aged tofu and water.
Therefore, this natural firm tofu can be found in supermarkets, organic stores, and Asian product stores.
Firm tofu is a very sticky product that can be easily cut into cubes.
So, to use firm tofu in this recipe, you will need a blender. Since you are going Mix tofu and water to get a creamy mixture, then mix with chickpea flour.
It’ll make you do a little more work, but the advantage of firm tofu is that it’s usually easier to find and cheaper than silken tofu. Anyway, here’s an alternative!
For more fun, add oil
To get a more egg-like texture, I like to add olive oil.
Because, the fat content of egg omelets usually exceeds 10%. But in my vegan omelet, we have to make do with 2%.
So you can let go By adding fat, you perfect the texture.
You get added tenderness and pleasure when you taste it: bingo, that’s what we like!
Oh, and for even more fun, you can also add a little vegetable cream, like soy cream.
How can I taste eggs again?
