Vegan Eggs with Mung Beans
Let me preface this by first saying that I’ve always loved eggs. I was that vegetarian who said they’d not be able to be vegan because they’d miss eggs.

It was initially lacking any sort of fishy flavour, at that point in my veganism I’d not tried any seaweed, or vegan fish sauce, so I was unaware of those things. I actually always hated fish before I… Continue reading Vegan Chickpea “Tuna” aka Chuna
