VEGAN GENERAL TSO'S CHICK'N

I adapted ChefDaddy's chicken recipe to make it vegan using store-bought plant-based nuggets. Make it kid-friendly by omitting the chiles and serving crushed red pepper on the side.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place frozen nuggets on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Flip nuggets and continue to bake until heated through and crispy, 7 to 9 more minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
  • While the nuggets are cooking, heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in white parts of green onions, red chiles, garlic, and orange zest. Cook, stirring, until chiles and garlic are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add sugar, soy sauce, broth, vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger to the wok. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Whisk together water and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir into the sauce. Return to a boil and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove and discard orange zest.
  • Stir nuggets into sauce to coat. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring frequently, until nuggets are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve nugget mixture over rice with broccoli. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green parts of green onions.

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • 2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients for the batter together, then whisk in the soy milk and soy sauce.
  • 3. Tear the seitan into bite-sized pieces, then mix in with the batter.
  • 4. Heat 2 Tbs. peanut oil in a wok over medium-high heat then add the battered seitan. Fry the seitan, stirring constantly and separating the individual pieces, until it's nice and brown and crispy. This may take 8-10 minutes. Then remove the seitan from the wok and set aside.
  • 5. Add the remaining 1 Tbs. of oil to the wok, then add the broccoli and onion. Stir-fry for a few minutes. Don't let the broccoli get too soft; it should still retain its color. Add the ginger and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the sauce and cook for another 3 minutes or so until it thickens. When the sauce is almost thick enough, turn the heat to low and stir in the seitan for about a minute.
  • 6. Serve over rice, or over soba or udon noodles.

12 oz seitan (use drained weight if packed in water)
1/2 lb broccoli, chopped (fresh is best; frozen is ok)
1/2 small-to-medium onion, chopped, not too finely
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
3 Tbsp peanut oil (a bit less if using a non-stick pan)
BATTER FOR THE SEITAN:
1/4 c all-purpose flour, rice flour, or spelt flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp egg replacer (such as energ-g)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 c plain unsweetened soy milk
1 Tbsp soy sauce
FOR THE SAUCE:
1/4 c soy sauce
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
3 Tbsp vegetable broth
3 Tbsp sugar or 2 1/4 tbs. agave nectar
2 tsp cornstarch

  • I like to saute the vegetables first and then add them back in at the end, that way they have a nice texture to them and don’t get too mushy with everything else--but feel free to cook the vegetables as you please.
  • In a large nonstick pot over medium high heat, add the sliced garlic if using, cook 1-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent, adding water or broth as needed (of course you may cook with oil if you prefer). Then add your veggies. For me, I sauteed the broccolini for about 5 minutes but NOT the red bell pepper because I prefer my red bell peppers crunchy, not soft. I put a lid on for part of those 5 minutes to give the broccolini a little steaming action. Cook according to your preferences. Either way, take your cooked veggies out of the pot and place them in a bowl and cover either with a small plate or aluminum foil.
  • While your veggies are cooking, rehydrate the soy curls by placing them in a medium bowl and adding vegetable broth or water just so the top soy curls are floating just a little, for me, about 1 ¾ cups broth for 8 oz soy curls. It should absorb all the water in about 6-8 minutes, but if it doesn’t, drain off the water well before cooking them.
  • Saute the minced or grated ginger and garlic next over medium high heat for about 1-2 minutes or until fragrant in your large nonstick pot. Remember to add just a little water or broth to keep them from sticking.
