My favorite thing to do is to revamp dishes into gluten free vegan versions and sometimes on a budget. Today I reached out to one of my friends @mrlimthedynasty whose family owns an Asian restaurant and asked if there was an inexpensive dish he would recommend, and he suggested Pad See Ew. Let's get started! To make it vegan, I replaced the chicken and egg with turmeric tofu and Just Egg, and to make it gluten-free, I used rice noodles instead of wheat noodles. For the sauce I used @sanjtamari gluten-free Hoisen sauce. It turned out so flavorful and delicious, and I'm excited to share the recipe with you all! Also, I was able to make four large plates for $20!!! P.S. I couldn't find the Japanese broccoli so I used traditional broccoli. I hope you all give this recipe a try and let me know what you think in the comments! Pad See Ew recipe serves 4 people. Ingredients: 1 pound fresh wide rice noodles 4 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup sliced turmeric tofu 2 cups Chinese broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces 1 bottle of Just Egg 1 bottle San-J sauce Optional toppings: green onion sesame seeds chili flakes Instructions: Soak the fresh rice noodles in warm water for 15-20 minutes until they are softened. Drain and set aside. In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant鈥appens quickly. Add the tofu to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Add the Chinese broccoli to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender. Remove the broccoli and tofu and set aside. Add rice noodles to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove rice noodles and set aside. Pour Just Egg into the pan and let sit until it starts to thicken. At this point, toss everything back into the pan, now add the sauce mixture over everything and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Pad See Ew! #veganasian #glutenfreeasian #asiancuisine #padseeew #glutenfreevegan #veganrecipes #ricenoodles #veganegg #tofu #delicious #justegg #sanjtamari #recipeideas https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpl4NUNuHEs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

While doing my search for my last post I came across this. It's about substitutes for eggs in cooking. It's new to me.
Egg replacements in cooking
Applesauce can also act as a binding agent. Try replacing each egg with 1/4 cup of applesauce.Mar 30, 2021
Can applesauce be used as a binder?
Applesauce can serve as a great binding agent due to its high fiber. It also provides good moisture, smooth texture and acts as a thickening agent in gluten free baking. Substitute 1/3 cup of applesauce for each egg in your recipes.
Can I use applesauce instead of eggs in pancakes?
Another egg substitute for pancakes? Applesauce. Fruit purees are a well-known substitute for eggs and for oil in recipes since they add moisture and a bit of binding. Use 录 cup applesauce to replace 1 egg in pancakes.Oct 13, 2020
16 egg substitutes
Some common egg substitutes include:
1. Mashed banana
Mashed banana can act as a binding agent when baking or making pancake batter. Replace each egg with 1/2 of a ripe banana.
2. Applesauce
Applesauce can also act as a binding agent. Try replacing each egg with 1/4 cup of applesauce.
3. Fruit puree
Fruit puree will help bind a recipe in a similar way to applesauce.
1/4 cup will replace 1 egg. It is worth noting that using fruit to replace eggs can change the flavor of a recipe or dish.
4. Avocado
1/4 cup of pureed avocado per egg can act as a binding agent in a recipe. It can also add moistness and richness.
5. Gelatin
To make gelatin for use in a recipe, mix 1 cup of boiling water with 2 tsp. of unflavored gelatin.
While it is an effective binding agent, this option is not suitable for people who follow a vegan diet.
6. Xanthan gum
Xanthan gum is a white powder that comes from the exoskeleton of bacteria.
Add 1 tsp. per recipe to bind and add texture to egg-free cakes and cookies, as well as milk-free ice cream.
7. Vegetable oil and baking powder
This substitute works when people need eggs as a leaving agent.
Mix between 1 and 1.5 tbsp. of water with 1 tsp. of baking powder per egg.
8. Margarine
Margarine works as a substitute for an egg glaze.
Instead of brushing a beaten egg onto recipes before baking, use melted margarine.
9. Flaxseeds
Use flaxseeds as an egg replacement for binding and adding texture. They work best in recipes like bran muffins and oatmeal cookies.
Whisk 1 tbsp. of ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp. of water, then leave the mixture to sit for around 20 minutes. It will change texture and look a little like egg whites.
Just like some eggs, flaxseeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
They also have a similar fat and protein profile to eggs. However, they can add a grainy or nutty flavor to the finished product.
10. Chia seeds
Chia seeds act in the same way as flaxseeds in a recipe. They can help bind ingredients and are best used in recipes such as breads and wholemeal cookies.
Mix 1 tablespoon of ground chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water, then leave to sit for around 20 minutes. It will become thick and egg-white like.
The mixture will have a darker color than eggs, and this can make the final product darker, too.
11. Seeds and baking powder
Chia and flaxseeds are another alternate leavening agent. Mix 1 tbsp. of the seeds with 3 tbsp. of water and leave to sit.
Once the texture has changed to a more gel-like consistency, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder per egg mentioned in the recipe.
12. Powdered egg replacements
Lots of companies make and sell powdered egg replacements. People can use these to bind, leaven or add texture or richness to the recipe.
Examples include Egg Replacer, The Vegg and The VeganEgg.
Each product has a slightly different offering. Some even include some egg. Therefore, it is important to always read the label and the ingredients list to make sure it is suitable.
13. Chickpea flour
Make egg-free omelets and pancakes by using 2-3 tablespoons of chickpea flour mixed with an equal amount of water instead of one egg.
Nutritional yeast flakes can add depth of flavor to the recipe.
14. Firm tofu
Replace hard-boiled eggs in salads and sandwiches with extra firm tofu. This type of tofu has a similar texture and protein content to eggs.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests using 2 oz. of chopped, extra firm tofu to replace one hard-boiled egg.
15. White beans
White beans can also act as a hard-boiled egg replacement.
Like tofu, they have a similar texture and protein content. Try adding white beans to salads and sandwiches.
16. Scrambled tofu
Scrambled tofu is a great alternative to scrambled eggs.
Adding turmeric will create a yellow color similar to egg, and nutritional yeast flakes will add flavor.
Some people even add kala namak, or Himalayan black salt, due to its sulfurous, egg-like flavor.
Aim for 2 oz. of silken or firm tofu per one egg.
Summary
People use eggs in cooking in many ways. Eggs are extremely versatile and bring different benefits to different recipes.
However, not everyone can eat eggs or wants to eat them. Some people are allergic, while others follow a vegan diet, for example.
Luckily, lots of egg substitutes exist. To pick the right one, people should think about what role eggs play in their recipe, such as binding, leavening, or adding flavor and texture.
When using egg replacement products, people should always read the label first. Sometimes, they contain eggs or other allergens.
