Deep-fried snacks or starter recipes are perhaps one of the sought after dishes in fast food joints. these are not only quick and easy to prepare, but also crispy and tasty and hence attract a young aged audience. one such popular deep-fried snack is fried chicken nuggets from KFC, but this recipe is a vegetarian or mock meat Fried Chicken nuggets recipe.
I have posted quite a few soybean or meal maker recipes, but this has to be one of the closest mock meat recipes. Last time I did share the kathal curry which carries a meat-like texture. But the use of soybean or meal maker as chicken meat has to be the closest one. As matter of fact, I also tried this recipe with tofu, but it wasn’t easy with that. Tofu carries more moisture and hence you may need to add flour or cornflour to hold its shape. This would solve the problem of shape but it may disturb the texture and taste. Whereas, in this recipe, I have not added any flour and thus hold the crumbly meat texture. In addition, you may use the same meal maker mixture to shape it like chicken drumsticks. Perhaps I would share it soon as a separate recipe. Do try this one and let me know your feedback on this.
Furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the veg chicken nuggets recipe. Firstly, the meal maker before it is used in any recipe has to be thoroughly washed, rinsed and boiled. This step ensures all the impurities and smell are drained and do not get into the actual end product. secondly, to get the golden brown and crunchy texture, crushed corn flakes are the only option for the coating. if you are fine with just golden brown, you may even use panko bread crumbs for coating. lastly, while deep frying if you see the nuggets dissolve or separate, you may deep freeze coated nuggets for 10-15 minutes. This helps to hold its shape while deep frying and do not absorb much oil.
