Vegan Seitan Chicken Nuggets (TikTok Recipe)

First, start by mixing together 4.5 cups flour and 1.5 cups water until a dough forms. Continue to knead for 4-5 minutes or until dough becomes smooth. If dough seems a bit too dry add little additions of water until it is malleable.

Rest in a bowl, and cover with a damp dish towel for 50 minutes in a warm area.

Next, when the dough has proofed a bit, rinse under running water until the dough has released all of its starch. The water will start off milky like this.

Then the water will eventually turn clear. When the dough has been washed of its starch, set it aside and gently pat dry.

Now let’s make these nuggets tasty! Grab a bowl and mix the seasonings together. Using this seasoning, sprinkle 1 ½ tbs of the mix onto the dough. Work it in until the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Tear the dough into small nugget shapes.

Once they are formed, pan sear the pieces on medium-high heat for approximately 60 seconds.

Next, we have to steam them a bit. Pour vegetable broth into the pan, cover and steam for 3-5 minutes depending on size of nuggets. The Dough will be firm. When done, set aside to cool.

Now you’ll want to make your dredge stations for the coating of the nuggets. Stir together the almond butter milk and the cornstarch into one bowl. In another small bowl mix together ¾ cup flour and 1 ½ tbs of the seasoning mix.

First dip the nuggets into the almond butter milk wet batter then into the dry batter until all nuggets are coated.

Last step! Fry the nuggets. Pan fry in cooking oil, over high heat, for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Let cool and enjoy with your vegan meat with your favorite condiment or hot sauce.
