Actually I've never eaten a chicken nugget, they came out after I became vegan, but I think this recipe is probably quite a lot like them...so if, like me, you're not 100% into healthy food and you enjoy the occasional deep-fried treat, try this! I'm definitely going to make it for my nieces when they next visit...they used to live on nuggets before they became vegetarians.
Cook 1 1/2 cups soya beans, drain and save the juice.
Mash 2 cups cooked soya beans,
then mix in:
1 cup soya bean juice
2/3 cup whole cooked soya beans
1 1/2 cups white flour (strong breadmaking flour's best)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon soya sauce
1-2 tsp garlic powder
1 minced onion
1 tsp mixed herbs (optional)
1/2 tsp chilli powder
Mix together to make a thick paste (add more flour or liquid if necessary)
Heat oil in deep frying pan or wok.
Drop in spoonfuls of the mixture, fry until light brown, then turn over to fry the other side.
Yummy! Nice with hot sauce, home-made salsa or whatever you like, and salad. And they're nice cold, too. It's a modified recipe from 'The Farm Vegetarian Cookbook'.
