BVegan fried egg attempt
Sam Levine@B What is the vegan egg made from? I've only see egg substitutes that look fairly uniform (not really a discrete white/yolk like in your photo).
@SRLevine the yolk is a reverse spherified yellow tomato, nooch, kala namak, soy milk blend. The white is aqua faba, soy milk, corn starch and rice flour.
@B That sounds delicious (I love tomato).
@SRLevine it turned out pretty well. I need to figure out a good way to bring the acid level down on the next run, but I’d definitely do this again.
@B In the tomato or in general? Since I think different types of tomatoes vary at least somewhat, which could be an easy fix (though I can't recall off the top of my head which ones are less acidic).
@SRLevine yup, in the tomato. I’m thinking of cutting in a little bit of caramelized carrot for the sweetness and texture.
@B Do you carmelize it in just oil? I've only done it with oil/sugar and they come out very, very sweet which isn't really what you want in an egg replacement (though is an excellent way to get carrot averse people to eat them for dinner...).
@SRLevine I’ve done it with a touch of baking soda and oil in a pressure cooker.
