plant based chicken

This is the easiest vegan shredded chicken ever. Seriously, you need only ONE ingredient! This “vegan chicken” recipe is 100% plant-based, gluten-free and soy-free with endless marinade and seasoning possibilities.

Vegan Shredded Chicken

oz Oyster mushroom (not king oyster, but regular)

Homemade Buffalo Sauce (see ingredients below)

Veggie broth

Cashew nuts (use sunflower seeds

Tbsp White wine vinegar

Garlic powder

tsp Onion powder

tsp Maple syrup

tsp Soy sauce

Add all sauce ingredients in a blender and blend them until smooth.

Homemade Buffalo Sauce

Gently wash any dirt off of them by using a colander or a sieve. Dry them with a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth. Do not peel them.

Then cut each of them into two parts 1) stem and 2) cap. Tear the cap into small shreds with your hands. The horizontal gills/lamellae of the mushrooms will be your guide. If the stem is soft enough you can shred them as well. The goal is to have thin strips of mushrooms that are uneven and not cut clean. 

Take a large bowl and add the mushroom strips. Use your favorite marinade and spice mix and gently cover them thoroughly using a spatula. (Marinade and serving suggestions in the Notes and above the recipe.)

Pre-heat oven to 425 Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and baked them for 20 minutes. Use it in your favorite recipe.

This is the easiest vegan shredded chicken ever. Seriously, you need only ONE ingredient! That&#39;s right. No need to know what vital wheat gluten or seitan is. You don&#39;t need any soy products what so ever. This 'vegan chicken' recipe is 100% plant-based, gluten-free and soy-free.

If you would like to make Orange Chicken, the most popular dish in Panda Express vegan at home, this is the recipe you need to try. We used the BEST plant-based alternative to crunchy fried chicken strips and covered them with a citrus-y, sticky, spicy sauce. We made it allergy-friendly so everyone can enjoy this dish. Which means there is NO TOFU and NO GLUTEN!

Vegan Orange Chicken (Copycat Panda Express)

mushroom

Dairy-free milk

Chickpea flour

White rice flour

Salt

Black pepper

White rice flour (crushed)

Tbsp Corn starch

Orange juice

Tbsp Orange zest

Cane sugar

Soy sauce

½ tsp Sriracha (or any other chili paste)

Tbsp Rice vinegar

Tbsp Vegetable oil

Garlic (minced)

Tbsp Ginger (minced)

Tbsp Molasses

Wet batter -&gt; Take a shallow bowl and mix dairy-free milk, chickpea flour, white rice flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper with a whisk. It should have a texture of a thick pancake batter, slow-flowing but not too dense. In time the flour may thicken the batter a bit, so add 1 tsp of water to thin it again.

Dry batter -&gt; Take another shallow bowl and mix white rice flour, corn starch, salt, and black pepper with a spoon.

Prepare the coating

Tear oyster mushroom into shreds with your hands. No need to wash or peel them. They grow on trees not in dirt, so they shouldn’t be dirty at all.

Have both wet batter and dry mix in two separate shallow bowls.

Dip the oyster mushroom strips first in the wet batter. Coat them evenly. I found it is easier to use your fingers to do that instead of using a fork or spatula.

Transfer gently the coated mushroom strips to the dry mix. Sprinkle the top and pat them gently. Make sure the mix sticks to them evenly.

Take a frying pan or skillet and add 1/2-inch oil. Heat it over medium/high heat. You can test whether it is hot enough by dropping a bit of coating in it. If it sizzles, you are good to go. 

Flipping them occasionally. It shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes to fry them. 

Bread and fry mushrooms

Peel and mince ginger and garlic. Wash and grate some orange zest.

Take a small bowl and mix corn starch, orange juice (100%), orange zest, cane sugar, soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), sriracha (or other chili paste), and white rice vinegar.

Take a saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Add oil and minced garlic, ginger and saute them for 1-2 minutes.

Add the mixture from the small bowl and mix well. Cook it for a couple of minutes until the corn starch is activated and the sauce starts to thicken.

Add molasses and stir well. Your sauce is ready now!

Prepare the orange sauce

We recommend doing the coating per serving especially if you don&#039;t have a large enough pan or skillet.

Take ¼ of the orange sauce and add it to a warm skillet or pan. Add 1 serving of fried mushroom strips (approx. 2 oz which is like 8-10 strips) and mix well. Serve it on steamed or cooked rice.

Serve it immediately

Vegan Fried Chicken (Oyster Mushrooms)

mushrooms

Onion powder

½ tsp Sweet smoked paprika powder

Cayenne pepper

¼ tsp Ground cumin seeds

Oregano

Yellow corn flour

tsp Fried chicken seasoning (from above)

Corn flakes ()

Tear them off one by one from the cluster. Use a wet paper towel or kitchen cloth to clean them if you find anything. Don't peel them, just cut off the end of the stem if it doesn’t look good.

Preparing the mushrooms

Mix all spices for the fried chicken seasoning (garlic powder, onion powder, sweet smoked paprika powder, cayenne pepper, ground cumin seeds, oregano, salt, and black pepper) in a small bowl.

Use a small chopping bowl of our immersion blender to crush corn flakes to a fine, breadcrumb-like texture.

Add 1 tsp of the fried chicken seasoning, the crushed corn flakes, and the corn starch in a large bowl. This will be the dry batter.

Add dairy-free milk, yellow corn flour, and 2 tsp of the fried chicken seasoning to a large bowl. Mix it well. This will be the wet batter. It should have a pancake batter texture, slow-flowing but not too dense. In time, the flour will thicken the batter a bit, so add 1 tsp of water to thin it again.

Dip the oyster mushroom first in the wet batter. Coat it evenly.

Transfer them gently to the dry batter. Sprinkle the top and pat it gently. Make sure the mix sticks to the mushroom evenly.

You can place it on a plate or fry it right away. The coating will hold at room temperature for an hour without a problem if you must wait before frying.

Making the breading

Pour sunflower oil into a pot and heat it on medium/high heat.

Gently drop the breaded vegan chicken in the oil. The oil is hot so pay attention to settle it gently without a splash. Don’t overcrowd the pan as the oil will cool down, and they will need a longer time and thus will soak up more oil.

Large pot with yellow liquid and brown nuggets are swimming in it.

Fry them for 2-3 minutes until the coating gets crispy.

Transfer them to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil when ready.
