The duo share three simple recipes for delicious vegan eating

<p>Four years after bursting onto the scene with BOSH.TV, Sheffield lads Henry Firth and Ian Theasby should be pretty pleased with themselves. Having racked up 1.6 billion YouTube views, they are credited with ‘veganising&rsquo; food faves such as lasagne and spaghetti Bolognese.</p><p>Here, they reveal their top tips and recipes for making every kitchen a vegan-friendly one:</p><h2>Your smartest vegan swap?</h2><p>Ian: I used to be a big fan of scrambled egg. We developed a technique using firm and silken tofu to get both the silkiness and clumps of the egg, flavoured with garlic, turmeric and a little bit of black salt, which gives a real eggy-ness. You really can&rsquo;t tell the difference.</p><h2>What essentials do all vegan households need?</h2><p>Henry: Tofu, nutritional yeast (to make things taste cheesy), a plant-based milk and a good selection of spices to layer up the tastes. They help you get the complexity of flavour you get with meat.</p><h2>What would you say to those who think veganism is expensive and limiting?</h2><p>Henry: There are endless fruits and veg to choose from! In terms of expense, if you&rsquo;re buying higher welfare meat, veganism is definitely cheaper, especially if you use dried beans, rice and pasta. You can make a vegan dish with five ingredients just as easily as a meat one.</p><h2>Can being ‘flexitarian&rsquo; make a difference, too?</h2><p>Ian: If we all cut out meat in the UK for one meal a week, we would reduce the UK&rsquo;s carbon emissions by more than 8%, which is the equivalent to taking 16 million cars off the road.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><img alt="square_bosh_1__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/square_bosh_1__square_GL?scl=1"></h2><h2>Crispy tofu satay bites</h2><p>Transform tofu into something crisp and crunchy with this <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/boshs-crispy-tofu-satay-bites">vegan take</a> on the popular Thai dish.
