How to make vegan egg yolk

There are two main components in making this vegan egg yolk recipe: oobleck and kala namak.

No, you haven’t just been cursed – those are the names of ingredients and they’re essential to the structure and flavour of this dip.

Oobleck is made from a mixture of cornflour and water. It looks like a liquid and behaves as such when you slowly dip your finger into it, but if you punch it or squeeze it hard, it’ll feel solid.

In this recipe, oobleck acts as a thickener, helping to give the dip its authentic egg yolk viscosity.

Kala namak, on the other hand, gives the vegan dippy egg its strong, eggy flavour.

Also known as black salt, kala namak has achieved cult status in the vegan community as a powerful egg flavour replacer.

The egginess comes from the salt’s high sulphur levels. This sulphur interacts with other ingredients when added to recipes, causing a chemical reaction that gives off an egg-like flavour.

How to serve vegan egg yolk
