Make Vegan Egg At Home // So Easy & Cheap! (Just Egg Substitute)

Yo man! Vegan chef here, I run a restaurant in the Midwest of US. I created a MUNG egg for our restaurant about a year ago and it has been one of the most popular items since. Ours is a bit more complex than yours but i appreciate you putting the knowledge out. If you make it right you can use it to egg batter and then bread items for baking to be crispy and delicious. Here at the restaurant i used our mung egg to batter eggplant and bread them with Italian bread crumbs and bake, flip and bake again. They are incredible eggplant parm. People really love that and the omelette we offer now. We also have a VERY hearty breakfast wrap that i call the "high protein breakfast wrap" thats delicious. A breakfast suitable for a calisthenics athlete like you or I my friend. 😊 I hope you read this.

I make homemade just egg like this too and I have a couple tips and ideas. 1 use about a tablespoon of tapioca starch in the blending step. When heated, it firms up in sort of a bouncy consistency so you can very easily use this mix to make fluffy scrambled eggs too. 2 use soy milk instead of water to blend. It also helps with the texture and it makes it higher in protein. 3 add a bit of garlic. Because it’s delicious. 5 add about a teaspoon of baking powder for structural reasons. And finally, if you pour it into a large nonstick baking dish and bake at 350 (or 176) for 15min, you can use a round cookie cutter to make egg patties for vegan McMuffins. The baking powder is important if you want to do this.

A shortcut I found was to use Mung Bean Flour (Moong Dal Flour), which can also be found in an Indian grocery (I also found in an Asian/Chinese market, but it had a greenish tint from the mung bean shells-still tasted fine). Nice thing is I prepared pouches of premixed dry ingredients that I just need to mix right before making breakfast--no need to soak the night before!

This is mung daal chila! Its a very common breakfast in India. You can add a lot more veggies to it. For quick preparation, you may want to use besan (chickpeas flour).

This is called traditional cheela (its a very common breakfast in the central part of India) . There is a similar version made in South india called "ADAI" . In that we use mix of dals (Black Gram Lentil Dal , Moong Dal , Toor Dal , Rice) you can basically use any. Try searching for this receipe and improvise as per your liking.

I currently don't have good non stick pans. So my hack is to put parchment paper on my toaster oven baking sheet. I mix in some sauteed veggies and herbs and pour a thin layer on the baking pan. Cook in my toaster oven for about 5 minutes and I have a yummy egg to top onto toast. It's a great hack for those of us who struggle with the product sticking to pans.

I had problems with Just Egg sticking to my plan even when sprayed with oil. Finally I whisked a little bit of avocado oil to it and that solved the problem

Starting my vegan journey as a senior. Getting a lot of great tips

I have also used chickpea flour, same set up but I added peppers, green onion, and deseeded jalapeño, spices and baking powder into a waffle maker! The kids loved it and it was so light and fluffy!

Yes! I’m so excited for this. I stopped buying Just Egg because it’s so expensive, and it doesn’t keep once it’s opened. Thanks for figuring out how to make a much more affordable alternative at home!

I tried this and made it exactly as the recipe required. It turned out very different than Just Eggs. The flavor was spot on but the texture was very beaney or starchy or cake like. Just Egg uses the protein isolate so the fiber is removed from the protein. That makes a big difference.

Made these and they were really good! Saves a lot of money too. At our grocery store, it’s about $5 for a bottle of just egg, and this recipe made two bottles for about $1.00! Thanks Derek, your channel is great. My wife and I went from vegetarian to wfpb vegan this year and you have helped a lot. Thanks for all you do

Such a great video!! I love it when you figure out how to make something like this to help people eat healthier and save money... Thank you!! 😊

My husband made your vegan egg recipe this morning this was so delicious! He made me scrambled eggs with veggies and he had his as a sandwich. Thank you so much! ❤

That was an important tip about kala namak. I still see a lot of YouTubers/recipes adding it before cooking and I wonder how many folks who try it are disappointed that they don't actually get that egg flavor. It really does work well added at the end and as Derek said, it isn't that salty so you can add quite a bit if you need to in order to get the depth of flavor you desire.

I just made the French toast, and it turned out great! Best vegan French toast I have made yet (and I’ve tried MANY recipes)!

Kala Namak! Rainbow Plant Life turned me on to it for her tofu scramble. It’s amazing for egg replacements!!

I find that you can add tofu scramble (or just tofu) to just egg to improve the texture of Just Egg. Makes it less flat and crepe-like.

I make scrambled eggs and omelette with the water that is used to soak chick peas. Even the water in canned chick peas can be used to make omelette or scrambled eggs with a table spoon of chick pea flour

I followed your recipe and our omelette came out fantastic. Thanks for breaking down the Just Egg product so that we can make it for ourselves for so much less money. First time my husband actually ate something vegan that was egglike. He hasn't not cared for any of the other products. Love your channel.
