For the Vegan version make:
Egg Replacer: 1tbsp (15g) flax seeds or milled flaxseeds and 115ml (4fl oz/1/2 cup) water, simmer for five minutes. This will produce a mixture, which is the consistency of raw egg white and equates to one egg. You do not need to strain the mixture, as the seeds will just add flavour to your recipe.
