Today I want to tell you how to make vegan hard boiled eggs, a version that is similar in appearance, taste and texture to the traditional hard boiled egg.
In a measuring cup, dissolve the agar agar in 100 ml of vegetable milk, bring to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until it activates and begins to thicken the mixture, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining milk and stir well, bring to a boil for a further 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the black salt (kala namak). The mixture will remain liquid, it will curdle only when it cools down.
Fill the egg-shaped moulds in halves (you can use chocolate moulds, but be careful not to pour the mixture too hot) if they are too small, they will be like vegan quail eggs, it all depends on what you have on hand and your patience. Bear in mind that a medium egg half is about 30 ml, so you can calculate how many you will get. There should be 16 halves or the equivalent of 8 whole eggs.
Leave to cool and take to the refrigerator to finish curdling.
Yolk Preparation
In a bowl add the dehydrated puree, nutritional yeast, black salt, turmeric and ground pumpkin seeds, mix well, add the coconut oil and form a paste, finally add the tablespoons of boiling water one by one to achieve a compact but creamy texture, which will become firmer as it cools.
Assembly of the egg
Take the egg whites out of the refrigerator, and without removing them from the mould, hollow out the halves in the centre leaving the round groove where you will add the yolk. This takes a bit of skill, but with a little patience you can do it.
Take a teaspoon of the yolk mixture and fill the groove, pressing it down to make it compact. Sprinkle more black salt on the surface.
At this point you can decide whether to join the two halves together and use them split. To join them together, dissolve 1/4 tsp. agar in 1/4 cup of water and microwave for a few seconds, use this warm mixture as glue and square off the two halves. You won't believe it, you've just created vegan hard boiled eggs 100% free of animal suffering.
Notes
You can keep whole and halved eggs, covered, for up to 4 days in the refrigerator, you should be able to freeze them without any problems.
