In a separate bowl, whisk together warm vegetable broth, soy sauce, and lemon juice.

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.
Približno 5 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Do not over-knead, as this can make the seitan tough.

Divide the seitan dough into 8 equal pieces.
Približno 1 min

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.
Približno 8 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Aim for an oval or irregular shape, similar to traditional schnitzel.

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with plant milk, and one with breadcrumbs.

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.
Približno 5 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Ensure an even coating of breadcrumbs for optimal crispiness.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Približno 2 min
Kuharjeva opomba: 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.
Približno 6 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring even cooking.

Transfer the fried schnitzels to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Približno 1 min
