1. Vegan Chicken
Did you know that you can actually make 'chicken' out of just flour and water? When this recipe was put up on TikTok by @futurelettuce, it absolutely blew up because no one could believe that it was possible.
However, using flour and water to make 'chicken' has been something that has been around for ages. It is traditionally called seitan and you make it by 'washing out' the starch in the flour to leave you with gluten. This is where your protein comes from.
To make this, start by kneading all-purpose flour and water together to form a dough. Let this dough rest for an hour. Then, put the dough in a bowl of water and begin kneading it underwater.
Once you have washed your dough enough, season it with whatever seasoning you would like. We highly recommend trying salt, pepper, garlic and paprika for the best flavours. Let it rest for another hour and your 'chicken' is ready to be eaten.
You can shred it to make shredded 'chicken', slice it up into a taco or tortilla wrap or even toss it into a stir fry. The possibilities are really endless with this recipe and the best part is that it still tastes really good.
