Tofu and Okara Nuggets

If you are looking for healthy vegan nuggets, here is the answer! Before I became a vegetarian, I used to make a tofu and chicken mince nuggets recipe for my cooking class. I then noticed that all other recipes I created for my Tofusion cooking class were vegetarian, and so I decided to make the nuggets totally vegetarian. I substituted chicken with okara and added vegetable stock. It went very well. Seriously, it tastes almost the same as the chicken version.

RECIPE

Ingredients

250g (9oz) okara
1/2 onion, finely grated
1/2 potato, finely grated
250g (9oz) hard tofu, crumbled finely by hand
3 tablespoons potato starch
2 teaspoons MSG-free vegetable stock powder
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of salt and pepper

Honey mustard

1.1/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Method

1. To make honey mustard, combine the honey and mustard.

2. Place the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and, using your hands, mix until well combined. Shape tablespoons of mixture into nuggets.

3. Heat oil in a saucepan over a high heat. When oil is hot, deep-fry the nuggets until golden.

4. Drain the nuggets on absorbent paper.

5. Serve with honey mustard and sweet chilli sauce

Vegan option: For a vegan alternative, use agave syrup instead of honey.
