Silken Tofu for 100% Plant-Based Udon Many Asian recipes include eggs as an ingredient. For those following a 100% plant-based diet, replacing them is really simple! For dishes that usually require scrambled eggs, silken tofu is the perfect substitute. This particular type of tofu, with its creamy texture and neutral taste, mimics scrambled eggs perfectly when stir-fried with turmeric and kala namak salt (a special type of salt that resembles the taste of eggs). If you can’t find silken tofu, you can replace it with regular tofu, making sure to crumble it well in the pan with your fingertips to recreate the scrambled egg effect.
