    How to Prepare Runny Fried ‘Egg’ [Vegan]

    Vegan egg yolk:

    1. Whisk all the ingredients together over medium high heat. Continue to whisk while it cooks for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the vegan yolk sauce thickens.
    2. Taste for seasonings.

    Vegan egg:

    1. Transfer the tofu to a work surface, turn the block on its side and slice lengthwise to create 4 even slabs. Cut each slab into a round using a 3-inch ring mold or cookie cutter. Save the remnants for another recipe.
    2. Heat the vegan butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, add the tofu slices and pan-sear until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a serving place and cut a small circle in the middle with a shot glass or knife. Pour in the vegan yolk sauce into the hole. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
