Leila’s Meatless Popcorn Chicken!

Leila Buffery, iEG recipe contributor

For the Chicken:

• 60g TVP (textured vegetable protein) chunks
• 1 vegan Stock Cube
• A splash of Soy Sauce (Make sure it’s vegan!)
• 1 TSP Onion Granules
• 1 TSP Garlic Granules
• Water to cover

The Batter: 

• 60g of plain Flour (2.10 oz)
• 40g dry Polenta (1.4 oz)
• 1/2 a TSP of Salt
• 1/4 TSP Garlic Granules
• 1/4 TSP Onion Granules
• 1/4 TSP ground Black Pepper

It’s Easy, Here We Go!

1. Shallow fry for 7-10 mins until golden!
2. Soak the TVP (soya chunks) in the warm water, stock, soy sauce and seasoning until it’s rehydrated. This should take 15-20 minutes.
3. When these are ready, roll them around in the dry mix until they’re all coated and shallow fry in a large pan until golden.

Wooooaaah MAMA!
