Preparation

1. In a bowl, mix 6 tablespoons vital wheat gluten, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon tahini, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, and 3 tablespoons vegan chicken broth.
3. Combine ingredients in both bowls to make your veggie patty dough. Knead dough for a minute.
4. Boil patty in water or broth for about an hour. Then, set aside to cool and press with a paper towel to remove excess water.
5. Mix 1 1/2 tablespoons vegan egg powder with about 1/2 cup cold water. Add water slowly, you may not need it all or you may need extra. Add enough cold water until it’s a thick batter. Add hot sauce to thin it out and maybe some more cold water.
6. Make flour mixture for breading. Mix 6 tablespoons flour with 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, salt, and chipotle powder or cayenne pepper. Mix and taste. Add more flavors or salt if needed.
7. Coat patty with flour mixture, then dip in vegan egg mixture. Allow excess to drip off then put back in the flour mixture.
8. Heat oil to high/med-high heat and fry until golden brown and crispy.
9. Make the hot sauce by combining vegan mayonnaise and hot sauce, to taste. Serve on bread of choice.
