I like to blend chickpea flour, a bit of tofu, season it, and then make "omelettes". So. Good.
could you tell me the measurements?😊❤
Recipe please!
@@BreannLaFaye u can look up how to make chickpea tofu (besan) and use it in place of soy tofu. i make crackers, bread, tofu and fritters w/ chickpea flour. so versatile! ill never go w/out it
@@corsicanlulu I love tofu as my main source of protein but I would also want to chickpeas
Yes, recipe please!
How about a comparison between Gardein vs Quorn vs Morningstar vs Boca when it comes to "beef" crumbles, "chicken" patties, burgers etc. Also vegan cream cheese comparison.
@@dlcc___x thanks for letting me know.
cena vegan is the best vegan meat alternative I've found
@@anniekimmelman779 good to know. Thanks! 🙂
Mathias Quorn & Morningstar have new vegan options
The new quorn spicy vegan patty is amazing. I love the Amy’s California burger the most as it’s like a rice and whole food tasting hearty burger. Personally I find Boca too meaty and chewy... although I like their chick patties. Haven’t tied the new vegan Morningstar. Garden has a yummy chick patty as well. And their burgers are pretty good. I’m in love with their breakfast sausage the most!
YESS!!! MAKE THIS A THEME!! Maybe the next one can be bacon or something
Disclaimer about Just Egg: the packaging says to scramble so that's what I did at first like what you guys did in the video and it felt like it evaporated and got smaller and smaller. So the next time instead of scrambling I made it like an omelette and it made like twice as many servings. So definitely recommend to just cook it like an omelette!!
The secret is to cook it over a low medium heat. You can tell their pan was way too hot here. You can’t fry it up like regular eggs. I’ve found that constantly working it on a low medium heat works best. Still, I only get about 4 servings per bottle.
Carolyn Lajara also some nondairy creamer helps the flavor and , texture. Maybe increase the quantity bit too
For those who don’t know, chickpea flour is also called “besan” or “gram flour” which you can find for SUPER cheap in Indian grocery stores.
Do not want to hurt you or offend you; but you are wrong basen is made of another daal. Ty.
AWW I love how you apologized to chris for talking over him when you didn't mean too and it's the little things! Love you guys together!
whatdhillanwhat the funny thing is that actually he was the one that was talking over her the whole time (but not in a mean way)
@@user-vl7bo2gu1y dude, for real lmao. he cut her off constantly.
If you mix some silken tofu with your pressed tofu (and all of the other ingredients) when making a tofu scramble, the texture is decidedly softer and more like scrambled eggs that haven’t been over-cooked, which was a common complaint I used to hear. The silken tofu also makes the “eggs” taste more like eggs and less tofu-like. Try it. I hope that it works for you!!
I'm definitely going to try this because the texture is my top complaint and I really wish I liked tofu scramble! :) Thanks for sharing!
Irene Ecksel was gonna say the same
Irene Ecksel do you blend it all together?
Ruchi Yes! I hope it helps and that you enjoy it.
I like using medium soft tofu. The texture is a lot softer and tastes better.
ok. So I'm quite a bit older than you two but what I like most about your videos is how polite and kind you are to each other.
you should do a taste test like this but with non-vegans and see what their opinion is! but also, would be nice to see a burger comparison, cheeses, yogurts and "chicken wings" or "beef crumbles"
Yes!!!!
You can’t go wrong with tofu scramble 🤤 but it’s so cool to see all the vegan “egg” products available
Unless one were to have a soy allergy. I use to be okay with tofu, but my allergy has gotten worse lol
Do a video about vegan cheese! I’m always looking for a good one. I like how you included homemade and store bought/ processed stuff and thanks for doing the math on prices!
Earth Island vegan cheese is amazing...
Try follow your heart vegan cheese, it's the best ever. Taste the same and it melts perfectly.
This video is good but really you should have seasoned all of them for it to be a fair and realistic comparison tbh. Thanks guys x
agreed!
I enjoyed the flavor of the Just Egg but it definitely wasn’t life changing and it’s so expensive! I’ll have to try the BeLeaf fried egg, it looks so strange but awesome.
When I first became vegan all they had was bean burgers available and i could only get them from a store 40 min away. Times have deffinatly changed. I agree about new vegans being spoiled. Theres no reason not to be vegan. Theres a replacement for everything
While I agree to an extent, there is still definitely reasons some people may not be able to be vegan. Maybe people have tons of food allergies that limit what they can eat, to simple things like chicken. They get their protein primarily through mean and can’t eat many vegan things. They would eventually be starved of nutrients. Another reason would be health issues. I’ve known people that tried to do the vegan lifestyle and did it all properly with research and everything, but ended up falling ill and tired and having health issues until their doctor made them stop. And ANOTHER reason would be cost. It’s EXTREMELY expensive to be vegan and unfortunately, processed ordinary junk foods are cheapest. I come from a big and poor family and when we bought food it was usually a ton of 80% chicken sandwiches and hamburgers, huge cartons of eggs, and a giant bag of chicken that we stretched until the next month. Vegan foods just don’t come in huge cheap quantities like that. So be glad that you are easily able to be vegan and happy! Just don’t hate on others that may not be able to do the same
@@emilygriffith6702 this 100%
@@emilygriffith6702 totally true statement but traditional vegan meals can be found in dollar stores nowadays rice beans canned vegetables fruit frozen foods etc .
@@emilygriffith6702 vegan food is some of the cheapest foods in the store! It’s the meat, milk, and cheese alternatives that are expensive. I’d suggest making your own nut milk at home which is really easy.
And there's SO much info online about how to make your own replacements on the cheap if you don't want to buy processed crap in plastic packaging, too. Roll up your sleeves, make some vegan chow, and dig in.
The chickpea scramble is the only scramble my body allows me to eat. So glad that it’s an option!
Going off the breakfast theme, I'd love to see a vegan bacon video. There are so many recipes and options on the market and I've had a hard time finding a really good one!
This video weirdly read my mind! I've been craving eggs this week but haven't had them in over a year. Thanks for doing a review for some products I was looking at trying.
Thanks so much, these taste tests are so helpful.
thankyou for making this, we appreciate you two
Great video guys, you were in my suggestion list, subscribed.
After going vegan a few months and then trying the vegan egg and adding black salt to my tofu scramble, I found that I don't reallly like eggs.🤷♀️
I just do plan tofu scramble with salt😁
@El LaPoint That would have been the smart conclusion to make lol I wanted to give then one more try. Since part of me being a picky eater was knowing that the products came from animals. I thought having vegan eggs may be different. But yeah no..I will happily never eat eggs again😁
Same I never cared for eggs really not soft scrambled eggs, so the classic tofu scramble without black salt is delicious to me!
Those are not eggs. You can't say that you do not like eggs because you don't like things that look like eggs.
This was extremely informative. Thanks.
Thanks so much! Can't wait to try Be Leaf vegan essentials👍
You guys make really cool videos and these taste tests cover all the varieties. There are so many ways to make vegan substitutes, and it’s great to know which ones are worth trying for new comers 😊I’m excited to know that we could buy the premade vegan fried egg. I’ll order them and surprise my family! Thank you so much!
Eggs were the last thing I gave up going vegan! Love that there's all these options now. I really wanna try that be leaf egg! Also looove your under cabinet lighting!!
One of the best comparison videos out there!! Liked subscribed
i love your channel SO MUCH. Thanks a millio
Thank you guys, great video, really informative🙂
This video is very helpful for me thank you guys
So glad I found this video, I have been wondering about some of these products. I've only made the tofu eggs but I will definately try two of the others. Thank you so much for the information.
This is the best video I have ever seen! I love that you gave price points as well as showed how to make them all. Egg-cellent video you guys!! :) I had NO idea about the Be Leaf egg so now of course I have to go buy some. We don't have a lot of vegan options here in Alaska. Also, I've made chickpea omelette but never scrambled eggs! Now to go binge your other videos. Love you both, so adorable!!
Great review video! And you two have great personalities. Thank you for saving me time and money 😁💚🌱💚
Thanks for this very thorough and comprehensive analysis and comparison of these five vegan egg substitutes. I've only tried the tofu scramble so far. Based on your recommendations, I can't wait to try the Be Leaf product when it comes to Canada.
I’ve only been vegan for two months and I decided to watch this as I made my follow your heart egg brunch. love the the video super informative and I will definitely look out for the other more tasty egg options you guys talked about😅❤️
Yes, definitely appreciate your taste tests! I bought the Gardein Holiday Roast because of your faux turkey review.
THANK YOU! So helpful!!!
Great and helpful video! The Be Leaf egg is definitely my favorite 🤤. I like the Follow Your Heart egg mostly for fried rice.
Great video. I had never heard of BeLeaf before, I’ll definitely give them a try. Also, I hadn’t heard of a chickpea scramble either. Thanks for the review and information!
This was educational thanks, i just made the tofu scramble amazing ty :)
Awesme review thank you both :)
what a good video, thank you for sharing these I hardly wait to try the chickpea variety,
Great video , thank you!
I loveeedddd the chickpea “egg” scramble and so did my 8 year old son! Delicious and thank you so much for sharing!
I tried the chickpea scramble for breakfast and I loved ittt! ❤️❤️❤️
I hated the Just Egg at first because I didn’t season it either. My husband makes omelets with butter, salt, pepper and vegan cheese. It’s absolutely amazing!!! We also made omelets with mushrooms, spinach and white vegan cheese. I highly recommend!!
Great video ^_^ Will def be trying the Be Leaf Vegan Egg, thank you
I was so excited to see the chickpea scramble. There are so many allergens i have to avoid and i was stoked to see an option for me!
I love how you guys add the price too 👌👌
Yuba is my absolute favorite thing in the world. I gotta try that Be Leaf! I also loved the way Chris modeled them.
Thank you guys! Subscribed.
One of my favorite videos from you guys. I now have another recipe to try with chickpea flour.
Relatively new to your channel...well, not that new...but just came across this egg test. EXCELLENT job you two! You were thorough and totally fair. I may just have to check out the Be Leaf option...looks crazy real. One other thing...you two are a joy to watch and listen to...you speak clearly (not everyone does...no really, they mumble)...and you are so very sweet...just like your name. LOVE that adorable doggie, Barry...he is clearly your baby!
Omg this is epic! My past egg loving self is shook hhahaha. I did an egg comparison but only btw a homemade vegan "fried egg" vs JUST.
More taste tests like this please ❤️
Thanks! Had not seen the chickpea version before. Will try that. Those fried eggs are crazy!
If you don't have black salt, try my tofu scramble hack:
Tumeric (of course,) and black pepper. Then Lowry's seasoning salt, garlic salt, and a little bit of paprika.
great video idea guys!
Love these comparison videos! Please do more.
If you have tried The Vegg, they make an an egg yolk substitute that is indistinguishable from an actual egg yolk.
I'm presently using the Lotus Seed Vegan EZ Omelette in a quiche and I love it!
This winter I've been on a super tofu scramble kick but I like mine like a southwest version (i.e. garlic, onions, peppers, sometimes black beans) and then serve over crispy air fried potatoes. :D
That’s my fav way of having tofu scramble too. I like adding spinach too for some pretty color. Salsa is also delicious mixed in
Great job. Thanks. I think I'll try those realistic fried eggs.
I LOVE tofu scramble!!! To me, it's completely perfect. However, now I MUST get my hands on that bizarre BeLeaf realistic fried egg!!! Amazing!!!!
Thank you for your honesty. I am very interested in going vegan at least for a couple of weeks. Kinda hard to do in the country I live in, but will definitely try it.
Yes, I've noticed the sweetness!
Thanks sooo informative! I just subscribed! :o)
Thank you......opened my eyes and taste buds!!! Ethical Vegan
Still a little behind ... 2 years ago, hope you do an update. Enjoy your taste rates ... the 2 of you have such different views and yet agree on the important things. I like the amount of info you share, and the fun you have working together. More ... so many foods to try.
Thank you. Newly vegan. I loved the video and your vibe. Excellent video
ooooh I always make chickpea flour omelets but never use it as a scramble! I didn't really like the follow your heart egg. those fried eggs look so awesome I can't believe I haven't heard of those!! you guys are champs for eating all these egg substitutes
Thanks for the info .. greetings from The Netherlands
Y'all did a great video... my favorite is the chickpea...I love to put fresh Spinach and vegan cheese, a sort of omelet type...super yummy!
I love Just Egg, I season it to where it tastes like a real egg. Plus for one person it does get about eight servings.
Thank you so much , this video was really helpful . I just purchased the liquid Just egg I haven’t used it yet , I will make the chickpea egg I have been wanting to make it as an omelette flipped half way stuffed with veggies and vegan nacho cheese sauce . Thank you
“Just egg” has released a frozen egg patty (substitute) which is my favorite so far. I haven’t tried the liquid just eggs yet but I really never really like scrambled eggs in the past. But I love their frozen egg patty which is four in a box for $4.99 it’s very filling and tastes great not too eggy. I prefer to fry it in a pan with oil and sliced onion and peppers. With the “Beyond Meat” frozen veggie patty.
I absolutely loved this video! Eating tofu scramble as I speak.
I had the Be Leaf vegan fried egg at a Filipino vegan restaurant as a part of a silog and it was amazing! I haven't been able to eat Filipino food in sooooo long since becoming vegan and that egg mixed with garlic fried rice and the mock meat tocino reminded me so much of the Filipino dishes I used to enjoy!
I had the Just Egg in a breakfast wrap and it was amazing. It tasted just like eggs and I couldn’t stop eating it.
Hey guys love the video! Just a loving critique here! I like that you guys are showing a first impression taste teste in this video , however I think it could be more thorough if you made some adjustments, like looking into how others prepare them and keeping it consistent and spicing all of them similarly so that its more of a fair shot! I dont think I would like any of those other than the seasoned imitation fried egg if they didnt have salt, pepper, and spices I would normally have eaten on an egg. Keep up the videos and amazing work and thanks for making an awesome informational video for us to enjoy (:
Side note:The last one makes for amazing omelettes, especially if you blend it in a mixer instead of by hand!
Thanks you. I am in the process of going vegan. I love tofu scramble but the option of the fried"egg" was great. I look forward to trying it.
jeri ellenburg Yay! I went vegan almost 6 years ago and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made! Best wishes!💕
Thank you. I honestly feel better when I eat plant based
I love using chickpea flour as an egg substitute. It makes great omelette and scramble 😋
Thank you so much for sharing .. that’s great 👍💖💖💖👍🌹 God bless all. 🙏
Thank you!
I will have to try the chickpea egg! Great idea!
I see Just Egg $3.99/4.99 at Sprouts (FL) they often have it $1 off in the app too! I like a tofu scramble or Just Egg w/garlic, onion & kale! Thanks for the video!
Just what i was looking for
Loved this review! The only thing I missed and craved after going vegan was eggs. Now I have so many options 😍 I love my tofu scramble but I need to find black salt...and try all the other ones you mentioned. I like the follow your heart egg but it doesn’t taste very eggy to me...I hope I find one that completely satisfies my past love for eggs ❤️ thank you for this video!
Follow Your Heart first vegan egg scramble had algal flour and it caused many people gut issues.
I loved it. It was so close to a real egg. Cooked similar to Just egg, but tasted really good.
Tofu Scramble for the win, although that fried egg is very intriguing!!
My favorite scramble go to is doing tofu scramble with the garbonzo flour mix. It gives a really good mix of textures.
I really wanted to try Be Leaf egg after this- there’s a vegan store in Denver called ‘Nooch’ and they had it. I tried it today on toast! Wow zeta! Very satisfying and reminiscent of a fried egg but also cleaner- I def like! Amazing what they can do these days!
Great video! Thanks for that. I learned a few things. I’ve been playing with moong dal (soaking it and then pureeing it with seasoning and making it it into a pancake/dosa type thing. I’ve been having fun with it. Doesn’t taste entirely like an egg but it’s just great being it’s own thing. We’ve been putting it inside toasted English muffins, etc. Such a healthy alternative to hens eggs. I still like me a tofu stir fry though.
I have only tried JUST EGG and a tofu scramble. I Look forward to trying the other options
I appreciated you mentioning the ingredients. I prefer clean and natural to lab good that includes unwanted ingredients..
Nice video thanks for the info. Just Egg is $3.99 here in NYC, 3 tablespoons equals one serving and that’s plenty enough for me.
Great video! I've only tried the just egg and I did hear a lot of people saying that the taste wasn't there so I added black salt before I even tried it and also only used it the first time in a fried rice, then in a scramble. With the black salt I thought it was actually really good and the texture was authentic. I've been curious about the be leaf and I think that I will be ordering it. I have the Hampton Creek egg in my cupboard and may give it a shot soon. I've yet to try a tofu scramble but I think I'm going to give it a try tomorrow morning with some veggies and black salt. I have never heard of the chickpea flour egg on its own but I have seen it used omelette style and that is something that I plan on trying in the future.
My secret ingredient to my tofu scram is onions like yall did but then also added some salsa and water to the pan then pouring pressed extra firm tofu crumbles in and cooking it up with adobo and tumeric. So yummy
ive done this with oatmeal, it tastes great and the consistancy is great. :)
Hi! I used the just egg in an omelet. I used vegan butter in the pan then cooked it as an omelet. I added mushrooms, onion, and spinach. Topped with vegan cheese and it was pretty good!
I like to make scrambled polenta. I make the polenta and mix in nutritional yeast, kala namak, and turmeric. Then I pour it into a 9x13 pan so that it's fairly thin and stick it in the freezer until it's cooled. I slice it into small chunks and then add it to sauteed onions/veggies. It's really good and also dirt cheap.
Looks good
you two are so sweet and natural! Have your tried Elsa's wholesome life Vegan egg recipe??? i cant wait to cook it for my brother!!!
