Making EGG from MUNG BEAN – Trying to Recreate Just EGG
Ever since I tried Just Egg a little over a year ago I've been trying to figure out how I could make a plant based egg at home! I think I finally got close with this mung bean egg! Just like Just egg my veggie egg is made using mung beans. This is a close version! I am still working on it but I wanted to give YOU the base of this recipe! Should I keep trying?

Ingredients
- Split Yellow Mung Beans
- Black Salt
- Water
- Paprika
- Turmeric
- Konjak Flour
- or Tapioca starch
Instructions
- Wash the mung bean well
- Dry the bean first on a towel then in dehydrator at 140 for 4 hours or until very dry
- Blend bean into very fine powder
- sift through strainer making sure that there are no large grains left
- blend again to continue turning into powder. Should be finer than a find flour almost starch consistency
- add 2 parts very cold water in weight to bean powder
- mix very well and let sit for at least 20 minutes you can sit in refrigerator if house is warm. keep cool
- slowly pour mixture back into blender watching for fibers bits that have settled to the bottom of the bowl. Leave those behind
- now add 1 gram konjak flour or 2 grams tapioca starch for every 100 grams of dry bean
- season using the rest of the seasonings to taste and color. The more black salt you use the more eggy it will be, over salted and it becomes rotten egg like. I used 2 teaspoons per 100g of dry bean powder
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I was wondering, why dry and powder the beans? Can’t the beans just be soaked and then put through a high-speed blender?
Exactly what I was wondering. All the other recipes just called for soaking in blending. I hope we get a response from the chef.
Hey Sauce stache- I noticed you didn’t have the coconut cream in the written ingredients like you did in the video. Is the coconut needed? Thank you
Can I dehydrate at 140 degrees in oven?? I don’t
have a dehydrator that has temps. Will this work?
Yes! Open the door from time to time to release the humidity.
