It’s NO CHICKEN! 🌱🐣

[FitGreenMind]

RECIPE (5 servings, 1h prep time):
Wet:
-1 cup (190g) cooked chickpeas
-1/2 cup (125ml) water
-2 Tbsp soy sauce
-1 Tsp mustard
-1 Tsp salt
-optionally: some garlic powder
Dry:
-2/3 cup (75g) chickpea flour (or all purpose flour)
-1 cup (130g) vital wheat gluten (can’t be replaced)
Blend in a food processor 4-5mins until it’s a dough OR blend the wet ingredients and then knead with the dry ingredients for 10mins.
Roll in a long sausage, twist and make a knot.
Broth:
-8 cups (2L) water
-1 onion, halved
-2 cloves smashed garlic
-3 Tbsp soy sauce
Bring to a simmer.
Cook the Seitan 45-50min.
Let it cool down (I like to place it in the fridge for that).
Then tear into chunks, now you can:
-marinate it
-fry it
-refrigerate it (1 week)
-freeze it (3 months)

You know, I was about to ask why you didn't use some chicken bouillon, or cook it in chicken stock to give it extra flavor, and then I realized I'm an idiot

"Hey wyd right now?"

"Nothing much, just kneading my chicken"

"To make vegan chicken, you need chickpeas." 🗿

My grandparents would cook some mushrooms and say it was chicken. And I believed it

I made this and it was very easy, just a few minutes to toss everything into the food processor. It turned out well. The texture is amazing although - it does not taste like chicken. But it’s a great alternative for eating less meat.
Tried it in wraps, quesadillas, deep fried with a curry dip. It works well with any kind of dip and does not get dry if fried. It lasted 6 days in the fridge. Highly recommend it.

I live in south east asia (not a vegan myself) jackfruit as meat substitute is super delicious.

I’m so sorry about everyone being mean on here, you don’t deserve it :(
Your recipes are great and I hope you keep making them!

By the way, in English “this is no [x]” has the connotation that it is worse than whatever it is copying. To phrase it in a neutral way, you would say “this is not [x]”. It’s a subtle but important distinction!

Hi Maya, Just wanted to let you know that your recipes are so so so amazing. Eventhough I am not vegan, I enjoy your recipes so much and try them out regularly. Your chickpea quesadilla is my all-time favourite❤️❤️❤️

[respectablefellow]

I'm not vegan and I don't know why I am seeing this right now but it looks like a nice alternative! It's nice that people that want to be vegan have help like yours :)

Best lesson following your channel so far has been “use mustard” and frankly, i’m with it

Gluten Free people are going out their minds right now 😂

So i ended up making this and even with my poor cooking skills I really liked the texture! No its not chicken but it is a fun alternative i would say. If you have a big pot maybe make twice as much “broth” i also added poultry seasoning and some other flavors into the broth. Next i made a breading by making a batter which i added aquafaba, flour, water, and seasonings to. I then dredged the setain in the batter and then rolled it in panko crumbs and shallow fried! It turned out so good!

Although I am not vegan but I gotta say you are so creative!!!! I like seeing your recipes every now and then, everything looks so appetizing and healthy!💗

For vegetarians India is the best place ...

Raw Jackfruit is alternative to chicken

[CelisticMarion]

Garlic is never optional at my house lol

[writingtacos]

I’m soy intolerant (so no tofu for me 😢) so it’s hard for me to find meat substitutes. I will definitely be trying this!

[psychopeticahermetico]

This one is also much much much healthier than alternatives you can buy.
Don't forget to look at the ingredients, pals.

I'm so happy right now. I used to love chicken so much cuz of its texture and how it looked. I'm glad there is a substitute
