What Do I Need?

  • potatoes – you can use frozen hash browns but making homemade hash browns is simpler than you think (just needs a little extra time on your hands).
  • spices – onion powder, garlic powder, five spice, salt, black pepper
  • extra firm tofu – to make an asian-style tofu scramble, you would just need a few killer ingredients like sambal, smoked paprika, nion powder, garlic powder, five-spice, turmeric and oat milk.
  • herbs – chinese chives are the star herb of this bagel
  • avocado mash – salt, lime juice, chives: that’s all you need!
  • seeded bagels – you can use regular bagels too but with these you have added nutrition and protein

Gluten free substitutions: Switch up your bagels for gluten free ones or you can use gluten free bread too.

Allium free substitutions: Substitute chives with cilantro and onion / garlic powder with a pinch of hing (asoefitida)
