Going to the Asian supermarket is a lot like going on a treasure hunt – you never know what you’ll discover there. In the refrigerated section, I came across fresh soy sheet knots which I’ve been dying to try but I had no idea what to do with them. Then I came across a recipe from TheVeganRonin for Homestyle Vegan Chicken Fingers that I absolutely had to try.
Oh my gosh, it’s sooo good! So much better than those frozen veggie chicken nugget things. Normally, I don’t like to fry anything at home because of the greasy mess it makes, but this recipe is so worth it.
The texture and taste is spot on. I followed most of the recipe but used the fresh soy knots instead of the dried. And I didn’t have the cumin or garlic powder on hand that it calls for so I left it out and added onion powder instead and it still came out great. It has a nice, spicy, Cajun flavor. Add a couple of sides and it really makes a lovely dinner. Or serve as an appetizer at your next party and impress all your friends.
looks gorgeous! glad it came out fantastic.
Hi! Everything looks delicious! I’ll be back!
Thanks! It’s a great recipe, definitely a keeper!
I’ve never seen soy knots before, I need to make a trip to look for them! The uncooked knots almost look like fabric. I’m so intrigued!
If I can’t find them, at least I’ll be able to make your fried wontons from your other post. Thanks!
Yes, they do look like fabric! I’m not sure how it’s made – maybe instead of blocks, it’s just pressed into really thin sheets? If you do find them, I’m sure you’ll make something great with them!
Looks so tasty!!!
Where can i get my hands on some of these?!
Thanks Mama Wolf! You can find soy knots at an Asian grocery store.
