Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have a recipe for which I need an egg replacement. It's a rice mixture that is dunked first in egg (to keep it together, I'm guessing) and then breadcrumbs before frying or baking it. I've used EnerG replacement in cake so far, but I'm not sure it would work in this case. Is there a tacky vegan substitute that would work to keep this together? Thanks for any suggestions ahead of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 maybe a bit of a batter type thing with some type of flour ( soya/gram/etc ) & water?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 is it supposed to be crispy then on the outside? tempura or fried breadcrumb coated...? ener-g will work if it's supposed to be slightly crispy you can use flour and water/or a little oil silken tofu blended can be used as well whitty__ Sep 19, 2008 5:57 PM Egg replacement for recipe I have a recipe for which I need an egg replacement.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi Whitty Get some holyhock leaves, and boil them in water for a few minutes - I've yet to try this, but I've been reliably informed that it turns into a great binding agent gloop!

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 What an interesting suggestion! Hollyhock is in the same plant family as okra, hibiscus, and a weed called cheeseweed. At a garden gathering the other day, one of the permaculture people was raving about how good cheeseweed was as a green. Flax also has that gloppy texture -- I'd add some water to flaxseed meal, wait a little while until it thickens, and experiment. Or maybe something like mashed potatoes? It sounds like the recipe is calling for something to make the breadcrumbs stick to the rice mixture. Probably any pureed vegetable would be worth trying. Or something starchy, such as arrowroot or potato flour mixed with water or puree. Have you tried searching online for a vegan version of your recipe or something similar to see what's used? Maybe a vegan tempura recipe?

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 my egg replacers are not so exotic! I just used apple sauce or a pureed banana when baking a cake. or just soft tofu. anouk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Trying the hollyhock sounds interesting, but I don't have access to it. I think my neighbor grows them but I'm already considered strange here in this provincial suburb of Western Pennsylvania. I can't imagine asking for hollyhocks to cook with and not being branded a bit nutty (not that I consider it strange, but my neighbors would find it so). I've never heard of cheeseweed before. Where is it native? I'm trying to reproduce arancine, a Sicilian rice ball with filling. It's good comfort food--I'm trying the EnerG replacement tonight since the end result is supposed to be crispy. I'll report back and let you know how it works out. , yarrow wrote: > > What an interesting suggestion! Hollyhock is in the same plant family > as okra, hibiscus, and a weed called cheeseweed.
