Whether you’re fully vegan or simply trying to cut down on your intake of animal products, egg is often a tricky food to substitute. It’s full of important omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients, as well as being versatile and delicious, but there are issues in the production chain that many non-meat-eaters feel uncomfortable about.

This egg and cress sarnie recipe from vegan charity Viva!, however, proves that you can get all the taste, texture and nutrients of scrambled egg… but vegan. It’s made using tofu, a fermented soy product that’s packed with protein as well as gut-loving probiotics, calcium and manganese. There’s also some evidence to suggest that tofu could be really handy in the management of menopause symptoms; it’s packed with isoflavones, which attach to oestrogen receptors in the body and weakly mimic the effect of the hormone.
