Seitan McNuggets
Seitan McNugget is a delicious plant-based alternative to traditional chicken McNuggets. They are made from seitan, a protein-packed wheat gluten, which gives them a meat-like texture. Seitan McNuggets are often seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, making them savory and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vital wheat gluten
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (for coating)
- Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and olive oil.
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring to form a dough. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes elastic and firm.
- Divide the dough into small nugget-sized pieces and shape them into nuggets.
- Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the nuggets to the boiling water and let them simmer for about 20 minutes. This step helps the seitan nuggets to cook through and firm up.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the nuggets from the water and let them cool for a few minutes.
- In a shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs. Roll each nugget in the breadcrumbs, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the nuggets until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once done, transfer the Seitan McNuggets to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
