Mung Dal Scramble

Mung Dal Scramble

Protein-rich vegan scramble for a delicious breakfast/brunch.

The color, texture, and pungent/eggy smell (thanks, black salt) makes it a real deal.

The smell seemed to fade away when I added the salt early. So make sure you add it at the end of the cooking process.

I paired it up with some sautéed beans and cherry tomatoes. If you like, you can even serve it alongside ketchup.

Let’s go!

Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow mung lentil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 300 ml. water (1 + 1/4 cup)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon black salt (adjustable)
• 1/4 cup green onions (finely chopped)

Instructions

• Rinse the yellow mung until the water runs clear. Transfer to a bowl and soak in hot water for 30 minutes.
• *After 30 minutes* Drain and transfer the mung to a blender. Add salt + pepper + garlic + nutritional yeast + turmeric powder + water to the blender. Blend to a smooth 'batter'.
• Set a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add oil. Once it's hot, pour in the blended mixture. Stir and scrape the bottom using a silicon spatula.
• Keep scraping and mixing until it puffs up and forms a dough.
• Next, cover the pan and let it cook for 5 minutes.
• *After 5 minutes* Uncover the pan and give everything a quick mix. Using a spatula, divide/cut the dough into smaller pieces (please see video for reference). As you cook, the pieces will start to separate and won't stick together.
• Now add black salt + green onion and give it a good mix.
• Serve alongside ketchup, and sauteed veggies (beans, Brussel sprouts, okras, cherry tomatoes).
