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)
