Instructions

  1. Slice the seitan into small slices.
  2. Place the plain flour in a bowl and one-by-one dip the seitan chunks in, coating on all sides, then leaving to one side on a plate or tray.
  3. In a clean bowl, combine the gram flour, soy milk, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp vegetable oil.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
  5. Working one chunk at a time, dip the seitan in the batter, covering all sides, then dip in the breadcrumbs, again evenly covering all sides. Place each nugget to one side ready to fry.
  6. Fill a deep pan with approx. 1cm of vegetable oil and bring to a medium heat. (Not too hot of the nuggets will burn.) Using tongs, place each chunk into the pan. Use multiple batches so as not to crowd the pan.
  7. Fry the nuggets on one side until golden brown (approx. 3 minutes) then turn over and again fry until golden brown. Once finished the nuggets are ready to eat.
