Egg Replacers (Binders)

[Guest guest]

Please forgive me if this has already posted. I am trying to

play " catch-up. " )

 

Any of the following can be used to replace eggs:

 

 

1 banana for 1 egg (great for cakes, pancakes, etc)

2 Tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot starch for 1 egg

Ener-G Egg Replacer (or similar product available in health food

stores or by mail order)

1/4 Cup tofu for 1 egg (blend tofu smooth with the liquid ingredients

before they are added to the dry ingredients.)

 

 

 

Dairy Substitutes

The following can be used as dairy substitutes in cooking:

 

 

soy milk (found in health food or Oriental stores)

soy margarine

soy yogurt (found in health food stores)

nut milks (blend nuts with water and strain)

rice milks (blend cooked rice with water)

 

 

 

Meat Substitutes in Stews/Soups

The following can be used as meat substitutes in soups and stews:

 

 

tempeh (cultured soybeans with a chewy texture)

tofu (freezing and then thawing gives tofu a meaty texture; the tofu

will turn slightly off white in color)

wheat gluten or seitan (made from wheat and has the texture of meat;

available in health food or Oriental stores)
