Vegan Chickn' Nuggets
This is a guest recipe from our friends at Exceedingly Vegan who experimented long and hard for a veganised, healthy chicken nugget. He succeeded! This is easy, tasty, good for a picnic and extra kid-friendly. The perfect high protein snack. Optionally gluten free if you use GF breadcrumbs.

Ingredients
- 400g / 14 oz firm tofu
- 80g / 2/3 cup chickpea flour
- 5 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 3 tbsp American mustard
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Black pepper
Other ingredients
- Breadcrumbs (opt., gluten-free)
Method
- Crumble the tofu into a food processor and add all the other ingredients. Blend well until you get a smooth mixture. You may need to add a TINY bit of water as well. And don't taste the mixture, the uncooked chickpea flour tastes bitter and needs to be cooked first before it is consumed.
- Take spoonfuls of the mixture with a table spoon and press into a bowl with breadcrumbs. Coat the tofu with breadcrumbs evenly on all sides and then fry in hot oil until golden brown (make sure the oil is hot). Place on a kitchen towel to absorb some of the excess oil.
