Ingredients

1 tbsp chia seeds
3 tbsp water

Instructions

In a small bowl or cup, combine the chia seeds with water.
Keep stirring gently for a few more seconds until all the seeds have been in contact with water. Chia tends to float until it is fully mixed in with water or other liquids.
Use the vegan egg immediately for cooking or baking.

Notes

When making savory sauces, you can also use aqua faba, the liquid in canned garbanzo beans. See the vegan aioli recipe, for example.
