Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Combine vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together warm vegetable broth, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 2-3 minutes until it comes together.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not over-knead, as this can make the seitan tough.
- 4
Divide the seitan dough into 8 equal pieces.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 5
Place each piece between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out until very thin, about 1/8 inch thick, resembling a schnitzel shape.
Aproximativ 8 min.
Nota bucătarului: Aim for an oval or irregular shape, similar to traditional schnitzel.
- 6
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with plant milk, and one with breadcrumbs.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 7
Dredge each seitan cutlet first in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in plant milk, ensuring it's fully coated, and finally press firmly into the breadcrumbs until completely covered.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure an even coating of breadcrumbs for optimal crispiness.
- 8
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a breadcrumb is dropped in.
- 9
Carefully place 2-3 breaded seitan cutlets into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- 10
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Aproximativ 6 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring even cooking.
- 11
Transfer the fried schnitzels to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Keep warm in a low oven while frying remaining schnitzels.
- 12
Repeat with the remaining seitan cutlets.
Aproximativ 10 min.
- 13
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
