Everyone’s probably known this all along but I only recently learnt that adding black Himalayan salt to mashed tofu makes tofu taste and smell like eggs. Mashed cauliflower is a good substitute for tofu.

Ingredients
 
1 cup soft or hard tofu (or a combination)
¼ to ½ tsp black salt (or to taste)
2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional), book, p. 14
 
Directions
 
.Mash the tofu, add the salt and mayo (if using). Voila! Use it in sandwiches with a lettuce leaf.
 
Curried eggless tofu filling
 
Regular salt also works fine in this recipe.
 
Ingredients
1 cup hard tofu
¼ tsp curry powder (garam masala)
¼ tsp turmeric powder
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black (or regular) salt, or to taste
¼ - ½ tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp lime juice
1.5 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp vegan mayonnaise (optional)
½ cup soft tofu + 1/8 tsp black salt (optional)
 
Directions
 
.Mash the hard tofu, add all the ingredients except for the soft tofu. Mix well to combine (I use my hands during this step to mash the tofu further).
.Optional: At the end, break the soft tofu up gently with a fork. Sprinkle with black salt. Stir the salted soft tofu into the hard tofu mixture, don’t mix it too much so it doesn’t turn yellow.  
 
Scrambled tofu
 
When you make scrambled tofu add the black salt after you’ve cooked the tofu because heat seems to kill the taste and smell of the black salt.
 
Ingredients
 
1 cup hard tofu
1 cup soft tofu
1 tsp vegetable oil
Pinch of ground turmeric (optional, for colour)
Black salt to taste
 
Directions
 
.In a small bowl break the soft tofu up with your hands or a fork but don’t mash it. Sprinkle with black salt and set aside.
.Mash the hard tofu. Heat the oil in a pan, add the mashed tofu and the turmeric. Cook stirring constantly for a few minutes (or longer if you prefer it very dry).
.Transfer to a bowl, stir in the black salt. Then gently fold in the soft tofu, don’t stir too much so it doesn’t turn yellow.
