There’s this veggie Vietnamese place near my house that makes the best “chicken” drumsticks. Leslie and I have been wanting to make our own and we finally came up with a decent version.
“Chicken” nuggets w/ sweet potato frittes
“Chicken” Nuggets
Soy chunks
Powder egg replacer
Flour for dipping
Panko breadcrumbs
Oil for frying
Salt and pepper to taste
Depending on the amount of soy chunks you have, make enough egg replacer to cover all pieces.
After coating the soy chunks in egg replacer, dip in flour and then in the breadcrumbs.
When the oil is hot, drop coated soy chunks in and fry till golden brown.
Place pieces on paper to cool and salt to taste. Seeve warm with dipping sauce of your choice.
Sweet potato frittes
2 medium sized sweet potatoes
Oil for frying
Salt and pepper to taste
Slice sweet potatoes into long thin strips.
When oil is hot, drop small batches in and fry till golden, approx. 4-5 mintues. Remove from oil, drain on paper and let cool until ready to serve.
Right before serving, heat oil again and drop small batches in. Fry for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper.
Serve with paprika ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
