Honey Crunch Seitan Recipe


Honey Crunch Seitan Recipe
I use homemade seitan for this recipe and during the cooking it smells like fried mushrooms my gramma used to make! They're nice and chewy inside with a crispity-crunchity outside. We dip ours in Strawberry-Chili sauce but a local vegan place just ... More

Ingredients
  • All ingredients are approximate b/c I don't measure- especially when I'm creating something new!
  • 1T honey
  • 1T soy sauce
  • 1/2c water
  • 2 large chunks homemade seitan (or about 1.5 packages premade seitan) cut into nugget size pieces
  • 1 egg
  • about 1/2c flour (I used glutinous rice flour but you can use pretty much anything including tempura)
  • 2c honey panko (the kind we buy comes in a pink bag)
  • enough oil to stand in the bottom of your pan for frying (around 2c)

Directions
  1. Mix honey, soy sauce and water and pour into a pan along with the seitan chunks.
  2. Simmer while you prep the rest of the ingredients to infuse the honey flavor into the seitan and help de-rubberize it.
  3. Pour your flour and panko into separate bowls/pie plates and beat the egg in a bowl/pie plate.
  4. Pull your seitan outta the honey broth and stick it in the freezer for a few minutes to cool it off so you can handle it easily.
  5. Get your oil heating so that it's crazy hot and ready to fry when you are.
  6. Dredge each seitan nugget in flour then dip in egg and into the panko.
  7. Press the panko firmly into the seitan and sit aside until the oil is ready.
  8. Drop 8-10 chunks at a time into the oil and let them get nice and brown before turning them over.
  9. Drain on papertowel or a cooling rack after the other side browns.
  10. Serve warm.
  11. These are still pretty tastie once they cool off but are MUCH better hot!
