tofu egg sandwich ingredients
  • Tofu: Extra firm tofu is best for this recipe.
  • Plant-based milk: I have used soy milk, but any vegan milk works.
  • Turmeric powder is essential to give the tofu a yellowish color.
  • Black salt: “kala namak” gives any vegan egg recipe its egg taste and smell. It has a scent that resembles cooked eggs due to its Sulfur content.
  • Smoked paprika
  • Nutritional yeast
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

How to make a Tofu Egg Sandwich?

  1. Preparing the Tofu:
  • Cut the tofu block into half, and each half cut it length-wise, so you end up with four equal size slices of tofu
  • To prepare the tofu “egg,” marinate: add soy milk, black salt, turmeric, smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well to combine.
  • In a glass container with a lid, add some marinating liquid first, place the tofu slices, add the remaining liquid, and thoroughly coat all the slices with the marinating.
  • Close the lid, shake it gently to coat the tofu properly, and place it in the fridge.
  • Let the tofu marinate for a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. Cooking the tofu egg:

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan, place the tofu slices and cook on each side for 5 minutes.

3. Assembling the Sandwich

  • While the tofu is cooking, toast your buns to your desired level of crispiness.
  • It’s time to assemble your sandwich. Start by layering your toppings, condiments, or vegan cheese.
  • Finally, place the other slice of toasted bread on top to complete your tofu egg sandwich masterpiece.

Storing Leftovers:

Any leftover tofu egg can be stored in a glass container in the fridge for up to three days. Heat it in the oven or on the stovetop and make a sandwich.

Plenty of tasty ways to repurpose any leftover tofu egg into new meal ideas. Use the tofu mixture to make a savory tofu scramble for breakfast, or stuff it into a wrap with fresh veggies for a quick and satisfying lunch.

The possibilities are endless when repurposing leftovers, so get creative and enjoy every bite of your tofu egg in new and exciting ways.
