Vegetarian Chicken Nuggets
- 1 pound seitan, cut into nugget-size chunks
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Adobo seasoning (in Mexican section of supermarket)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- vegetable oil
- Mix non-dairy milk and corn starch in a shallow dish.
- Mix all other ingredients EXCEPT vegetable oil in another shallow dish. Whisk with a fork to distribute ingredients.
- Heat a cast iron skillet, then add about a quarter inch of oil.
- As oil comes up to temperature, begin to prepare the seitan nuggets.
- Dip a chunk of seitan in the milk mixture, then dredge it in the cornmeal mixture. Place nugget in skillet. Oil should sizzle.
- By the time you've dipped the last nugget, you can begin turning the nuggets with tongs to brown both sides.
- Remove nuggets from skillet when they are crispy and golden on all sides. Drain them on a piece of heavy brown paper.
- Serve with any favorite dipping sauce. I love to make homemade BBQ sauce for these.
