Just Egg Mung Bean Recipe

Step 1

Start by making sure you have soaked your mung beans with plenty of water in a large bowl overnight to soften them. Then, drain the soaked mung beans and give them a rinse.

Step 2

To make your mung bean vegan egg, all you have to do is add all ingredients (measurements in recipe card below) into a blender and blend until smooth consistency. That's it! All you got to do is mix your soaked mung beans, unsweetened plain non-dairy milk, aquafaba from chickpeas can, oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder (optional), turmeric, black salt and baking powder! Then you have your Just Egg!

Step 3

To make a just egg mung bean omelette: Heat oil (approximately 1/2 tbsp) on a non-stick pan on medium-high heat and pour in around 1/3 - 1/2 cup of the “egg” mixture per serving or however large you want your omelette. Spread the mixture thinly and let it cook with a lid on top (very important tip for omelettes) for about 20-30 seconds or until the mixture starts to bubble at the top. Add your filling to one half of your omelette. Flip the other side of the omelette over to close it. Slide onto a plate to serve.

Step 4

To make mung bean scrambled eggs: Heat oil (approximately 1/2 tbsp) on a non-stick pan on medium-high heat and pour in around 1/3 - 1/2 cup of the “egg” mixture per serving. Spread the mixture thinly and let it cook for about 20-30 seconds or until the mixture starts to bubble at the top. Begin to scramble and break apart the mixture and cook to your liking.

Step 5

When serving, add desired amount of kala namak (black salt) on top of your mung bean vegan egg to give more of the eggy flavour. This is optional but highly recommended as it will really make your mung bean egg taste realistic.

Step 6

Keep the mung bean egg in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
