Since we love animals, and root for plant-based, this is obviously not chicken ;-) But rather Seitan. Seitan is a food made from gluten, the main protein of wheat.
With 75g of plant protein per 100g, seitan is a protein bomb! And what's even better is that it is so quick to prepare. You can easily whip up this vegan sriracha "chicken" dish in no time.
For the seitan:
- 3/4 Cup Vital Wheat Gluten
- 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp "Chicken" Style Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2/3 Cup Water
For the Sriracha Marinade:
- 2 Tbs Sriracha
- 1 Tbs Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbs Maple Syrup
- 1 Tbs Rice Vinegar
- 1 Tsp Sesame Oil
- Mix all the dry ingredients, add water, and whisk to form a shaggy dough.
- Continue mixing by hand and knead the dough for about one minute until you get a nice ball of dough. This is now the seitan.
- Tear the seitan into chunks, lightly toss the chunks of seitan in oil and steam on the top part of a rice cooker for 10 min.
- Heat oil in a pan and fry the steamed seitan chunks on each side until it's golden brown.
- Mix all the marinade ingredients to make the sriracha sauce.
- Add the shriracha sauce into the pan and cover the seitan well.
- Serve with your favorite rice, noodles, or salad.
- Enjoy!
