Vegan eggs, what’s that?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Vegan<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was sooo happy when I heard of this kind of vegan egg, it sounded too good to be true and I couldn\u2019t believe it since if it\u2019s this easy to make a vegan boiled egg they should be all over the stores. I was even happier when I after a few tries perfected the recipe I first heard about. Egg is one of the few things I miss from time to time, like in spinach soup and on the Swedish holidays when we almost always eat eggs, but I would never in my life even think about eating real thing. These vegan boiled eggs are by far the best replacement I\u2019ve found so far and I\u2019m absolutely positive they\u2019ll be appreciated the next holiday the family is gathered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first read about this kind of vegan eggs I was convinced it would be time consuming and complicated to make them, but the truth is they\u2019re really easy to make and not time consuming at all! Both the \u201degg white\u201d and the \u201dyolk\u201d are made of only five ingredients and are sooo easy to make. All you need to do is mix, boil and mash, nothing complicated and no master chef needed! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important ingredients are the black salt (or kala namak as it\u2019s also called) that gives the \u201degg\u201d the eggy flavor and the agar agar that gives the whites the consistence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve used egg shaped molds since I wanted the result to be as close to real eggs as possible, but you can of course use whatever shape you feel like.

Why vegan eggs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I often get the question \u201dwhy would you want to create something that\u2019s so similar to something you would never eat?\u201d. The answer for me is simple, even if I\u2019d never ever eat meat or egg again that doesn\u2019t mean that I don\u2019t miss some dishes where for example egg is included, like the spinach soup. But can\u2019t I use something else plant based? Sure I can, but honestly I haven\u2019t found something that\u2019s good enough to replace it with so up until now I\u2019ve eaten the soup just as it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have something similar to what you\u2019re used to eat can also make the transition to eating a plant based diet a lot easier for some people, and if I can be a part of making it easier, I\u2019m more than happy to help.
