It is too runny if your mixture looks like yogurt or pancake batter 🙅
If the tofu is runny, it will mix with the tomato sauce.
Make sure not to buy silky tofu.
This is a medium firm tofu.
When the tomato sauce looks like this, it’s time to add the tofu paste.
Use a wet spoon to scoop and divide into 6 equal portions.
Smooth the tofu paste with a wet spoon. Shape into a round flat shape.
How to make vegan egg yolk.
By the STEP 5 the bell pepper should be baked in the oven.
Peel the brown part and cut in to round shape to mimic egg yolk.
STEP 6
Place the rounded bell peppers on top of the tofu and cover the pan. Steam over low heat for at least 5 minutes.
Tofu will firm up.
Top with Italian parsley or herbs of your choice and it’s done!
Serve it with some fresh veggies and toasted garlic bread slices;)
Surprise your friends by making vegan eggs.
Lovely gift 😍
