I am not a vegetarian or vegan, but I love discovering new flavors and simply experimenting in my kitchen.

Currently my mother-in-law is visiting us in Dubai for school spring break. She is Polish (from the North-West) and I should say that it is very popular to have scramble eggs for a breakfast there.

So I decided to surprise her and prepare scrambled… but not eggs. I didn’t say anyone what they will have for breakfast and when I put the plates on the table, my husband and my mother-in-law were sure that it just simple scramble eggs with veggies and home-made buns.

After a while I asked them if they know what they were eating. At this moment all froze gaping at me.

– Eggs

– Sure? You know I can’t eat eggs for a while. And I remember you don’t eat egg whites as well. Do you think I could serve smth you can’t eat?

– I thought you’ve made an exception this time.

– Nope 😉

– It tastes like eggs!

– It is tofu!!! Scrambled tofu with veggies and spices.

I should say that it was really very interesting experiment with unexpected result: no-one even thought that the breakfast was not from eggs, but tofu.

It is worth to try!
