Vegan egg steamed in a zucchini

What the heck?? Good question.

I recently saw a video on Instagram where someone did this with chicken eggs and I thought, 'hey, I could make that using my vegan fried egg recipe'. I was quite surprised that it worked first time, and even more surprised by how delicious it was!

I sliced it into dunkable pieces and served them cold with soy sauce (plus chili, garlic, ginger), similar to the original video. Note that the dipping sauce benefits HUGELY from a day in the fridge. Then all the flavours can infuse into the soy sauce. Delish!

Do you even dunk, bro? This sauce is the perfect accompaniment for this odd creation.

How to make it

This one’s not so much a recipe as an experiment. But if you’re interested in recreating it, I’ve got a reel on Instagram that shows exactly how I did it.

This experiment uses my recipe for a vegan fried egg, in exactly the same measurements. One benefit of this zucchini version is you don’t need a silicone mould, unlike in my fried egg recipe.

Credit

As far as I know this is not a traditional dish. I would like to credit the person who came up with this idea of cooking an egg in a courgette, but they weren't credited by the account that posted their video sooo... . Let me know if you know who's responsible for the original concept. Thank you!
