This beautiful steamed egg dish is like a savoury panna cotta. It’s a brilliant addition to any home-cooked meal, but with the extra protein from the tofu, it also makes a great midweek meal ...
I love the light, silky texture and mild flavour of egg tofu. Pale yellow and usually sold in tubes, egg tofu is delicate and needs to be handled gently. Use a sharp, thin-bladed knife to cut it ...
To make bean curd, soybeans are soaked ... The flavour isn’t nearly as strong as the scent, though. Egg tofu is often sold in supermarkets alongside the soft, medium and firm tofus.
Inventive plant-based cooks have been using firm silken tofu, along with kala namak (aka Indian black salt or Himalayan black salt) to make a plant-based alternative to scrambled eggs for years.
