VEGAN FRIED CHICKEN/VEGAN CHICKEN NUGGETS (GLUTEN-FREE)



Vegan Fried Chicken/Vegan Chicken Nuggets (Gluten-Free) image

I served these to some non-vegan friends (one of whom "hates tofu") and they seemed to really like them. Based on a recipe from vegweb.com. The original called for crushed cornflakes, but when I went to make this, somebody had eaten all my cornflakes so I used Lay's Baked Potato Chips instead. I like the salty taste of the chips better than the sweet of the cornflakes, but feel free to used crushed anything here and add other seasonings to your heart's content. You can find vegetarian chicken bouillon at your local health food store.

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup hot water
1 tablespoon vegetarian chicken bouillon cube
1/2 cup textured vegetable protein
1/2 cup instant mashed potatoes, dry (make sure it's vegan)
2/3 cup crushed baked potato chips
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Put hot water in a bowl and stir in bouillon. Soak TVP in this liquid for 10 minutes. It will expand.
  • Stir in just enough instant mashed potatoes to make a doughy mixture that can be formed into patties. Mix in salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Dip patties in crushed baked potato chips, covering completely. Fry in oil until crispy, turning occasionally.

THAI FRIED RICE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN OR TOFU (GLUTEN-FREE) RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Thai Fried Rice Noodles with Chicken or Tofu (gluten-free) Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-46687

Number Of Ingredients 20

MARINADE:
8 ounces very thin dried rice noodles ("vermicelli rice stick")
1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh chicken pieces/strips, OR equivalent of cubed tofu
3 cloves garlic
1 thumb-size piece galangal or ginger, sliced thinly or cut into matchstick-like pieces
1 cup or more fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 to 3 cups fresh bean sprouts
1/2 cup chicken stock (or simulated chicken stock for vegetarians)
handful of fresh coriander
2 1/2 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 3 tablespoons soy sauce
STIR-FRY SAUCE:
1 tablespoon soy sauce (use wheat-free soy sauce for gluten-free diets)
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce (gluten-free diets substitute 1 tablespoon wheat-free soy sauce)
1 tablespoon fish sauce (vegetarians substitute 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup chicken stock OR faux chicken/vegetable stock
1 to 2 teaspoons chili sauce, OR 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken or tofu by pouring the cornstarch/soy sauce mixture over and stirring well. Set aside. Soak rice noodles in a pot of hot water 5 to 12 minutes, or just until noodles are soft enough to eat, but still firm and a little bit 'crunchy' (they will finish cooking later). Drain and briefly rinse noodles with cold water to keep from sticking. Set aside. Combine all stir-fry sauce ingredients, mixing them together in a cup. Set aside. Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tablespoons oil and swirl around, then add the garlic, ginger, chicken or tofu (together with the marinade), mushrooms, and a few tablespoons of stock. Stir-fry 5 minutes, or until chicken or mushrooms are cooked. When pan becomes dry, add a little more chicken stock, 1 t 2 tablespoons at a time - enough to keep the ingredients sizzling. Add red pepper and stir-fry another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the noodles plus stir-fry sauce. Using two utensils, lift and turn the noodles or use a tossing motion, like tossing a salad. Stir-fry in this way until the sauce is well distributed throughout the noodles (1 to 2 minutes). Add bean sprouts, continuing to stir-fry another minute. Remove from heat and taste-test for salt/flavor, adding 1 tablespoon more fish sauce or soy sauce if not salty enough. If too salty, add another squeeze of lime juice. To serve, lift noodles out of the wok or frying pan and mound on a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and garnish with wedges of fresh-cut limes. For those who like it spicy, serve with Thai Chili Sauce on the side, and ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality gluten-free flour blend. Not all gluten-free flour blends are created equal. Look for a blend that is made with a variety of flours, such as almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca flour. This will help to ensure that your fried chicken is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
  • Use buttermilk or yogurt to marinate the chicken. Buttermilk or yogurt will help to tenderize the chicken and give it a delicious flavor. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Double-coat the chicken in the flour mixture. This will help to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated and crispy. Be sure to shake off any excess flour before frying the chicken.
  • Fry the chicken in a large pot or Dutch oven. This will help to prevent the chicken from overcrowding and sticking together. Be sure to use enough oil to cover the chicken completely.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people with and without celiac disease or gluten intolerance. With a few simple tips, you can make gluten-free fried chicken that is just as crispy, juicy, and flavorful as traditional fried chicken.
