Red's Fried Egg and Bologna Sandwich
Red: God, I can remember it like it was yesterday. I was in Steven Bash's rec room down in the basement, eating a fried egg and bologna sandwich... I used this recipe for the fried egg – The Perfect Vegan Fried Egg . . . Sunny Side Up – but with a few changes (regular salt instead of kala namak salt, 2 tsp canola oil instead of 1 tsp vegan margarine and 1 tsp canola oil, and extra firm tofu instead of "firm silken" tofu). I think next time I also will use less water because the yolk didn't get solid enough; regardless, the yolk was still my favorite part of the whole sandwich! Even though the kala namak salt was noted as "essential," I'm glad I didn't stress about finding it; the yolk tasted perfect to me with regular salt. The rest of the sandwich was simple, just three slices of Tofurky bologna and a toasted English muffin.
Delicious!
Bonus quote from the episode:
Red: My friend here is still making the bed he'll have to lie in for the rest of his life, but my bed is made, and I assure you my bed accommodates a broad spectrum of behavior.
Here's Buttons in the attic...
And Leela looking up the stairs to the attic...
Peace. :)
I've never looked for kala namak either, and I like vegan eggy dishes just fine without it! This sandwich looks like a lot of fun to make (and tasty too!). :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bonnie! It was definitely fun to make & cut out the shapes! :)
DeleteI love those pictures of Leela! She has such big eyes! :) That fried egg looks real. Very cool sandwich :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jill! & yes, she does indeed have big eyes; the better to look super cute with! :)
DeleteThe sandwich looks great! :) I live fairly close to a spice store, if you ever want to try kala namak let me know and I can send you some!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer, Elyse! I'll search a bit more around here & if I still can't find it, I'll let you know! :D
