Equipment
- mixing bowl
- fork
- knife
- cutting board
- aluminum foil
- steamer
- measuring cups
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups vital wheat gluten
- 1 cup vegetable broth
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten and the vegetable broth.
- Use a fork or your hands to stir the mixture until it forms a shaggy dough ball.
- Knead the dough directly in the bowl for 3 to 5 minutes until it becomes very firm and elastic.
- Let the dough rest in the bowl for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
- Stretch and shape the rested dough into a log or cut it into smaller nugget-sized pieces.
- Wrap the dough tightly in foil, creating a sealed packet.
- Steam the foil packet for 45 minutes, ensuring the water in your steamer remains at a steady simmer.
- Unwrap the vegan chicken, let it cool slightly, then slice or shred it for use in your favorite recipes.
Notes
Wrap the dough tightly in foil to seal in moisture during steaming. Let it cool before slicing or shredding.
