I have a huge package of mung beans and still haven't used them yet - could you tell me what you do with them for the omelet? please and thank you...

Absolutely! The first thing I do is rinse 1 cup of the mung beans using a fine mesh strainer. I rinse until there are no bubbles left, as it bubbles up when you start rinsing them. Then i soak them in water for at least 8 hours. It's good to do it overnight because after that, making the eggless mixutre is pretty quick and easy.
Here is the recipe I use (it's kind of a combo of Cheap Lazy Vegan and another YouTuber, whose name escapes me at the moment).
After discarding the water from the beans (I put them in a colander to drain after soaking), add them to a high-speed blender.
Then add the following ingredients to the blender:
1 1/3 cups of water (I use a combo of half unsweetened nondairy milk and water that adds up to 1 1/3 cups)
2 TBSP nooch flakes
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1/2 tsp of turmeric
1/2 tsp of salt
Blend it all until smooth. They are ready to use now. When you eat them, add some Kala Namak after cooking for an egglike flavor. This really makes a difference in the taste of the eggless mixture, IMHO.
One note, they are a bit gummy compared to Just Egg, but I don't really mind it. With the Kala Namak and some hot sauce, they really do the trick for me for omelets, scrambled "egg," etc.
