====== Seitan Nuggets ======
From [[https://www.theedgyveg.com/2014/03/08/vegan-mcdonalds-series-mcnuggets/|here]]. This is a great base seitan recipe--makes around 2 dozen walnut-size seitan nuggets and a few cups of very savory onion broth. This recipe goes on to bread and fry the nuggets.

===== Ingredients =====
  * 1 cup vital wheat gluten
  * 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  * 1 tsp onion powder
  * 1/2 tsp salt
  * 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning((make something up with thyme, oregano, garlic, whatever))
  * 3/4 cup veggie broth
  * 1/4 cup tahini((not critical but delicious))
  * 3-4 cups addtl veggie broth for cooking
  * 1 onion chopped coarsely

Breading if you're frying:

  * 3 eggs or egg replacer
  * 2/3 cup flour
  * 1/3 cup panko
  * 2 tsp salt
  * 1 tsp onion powder
  * 1/4 tsp pepper
  * 1 tsp garlic powder

===== Directions =====
Seitan:

  - Combine the dry ingredients (VWG, nooch, onion powder, salt, poultry seasoning).
  - Combine the 3/4 cup broth and tahini until smooth. Mix in the dry ingredients. It's a sticky mess.
  - Knead to develop some elasticity. Use more VWG if it's too sticky but don't dry it out.
  - Make small nuggets, they'll double in size. Roll into balls and flatten slightly. Put them in a 13x9 with the onion and cooking broth then cover the pan with foil.
  - Bake at 350 for about an hour. Check at 45 minutes if they want to be flipped.

Frying

  - Make wet and dry dipping stations from the egg (replacer) and all the dry ingredients.
  - Dredge each nugget in dry, then wet, then dry again to coat.
  - (Freeze in a single layer for half an hour and repeat for more coating.)
  - Deep fry in 375F oil for 10-12 minutes.
