Vegan Fortune Cookies?

Question

We're having (homemade) chinese food for dinner tonight and I was feeling ambitious and thought I'd try and make some fortune cookies. However, all the recipes I found call for egg whites, or egg replacer, which I don't have (and I'm not going out to the store before dinner). Does anyone know of a fortune cookie recipe that doesn't need egg whites (or EnerG or whatever), or know of a homemade egg replacer I can use?

Answer 1

Since you do not have the ingredients, I suggest that you do not worry about making fortune cookies. You can do the traditional ending to a Chinese meal; end it with a plate of sliced oranges or other fruit. Fortune cookies are not part of traditional Chinese anyways (there were first made in California by Asian  immigrants).

Answer 2

This is the tough thing about fortune cookies, they always have eggs.  Even Buddhist vegan restaurants give out non-vegan fortune cookies, which I have always found odd.

I think it would best to skip it.  Although I hear if you mix ground flax seeds with water about 1 TBS ground flax with 3 TBS water you can replace one egg.

That is, if you have flaxseeds at home which is doubtful.
