How to Make Vegan Chicken
  1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour and water until a shaggy dough starts to form.
  2. Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead it for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the kneaded dough in a bowl of water and cover it. Let it rest for 1–2 hours.
  4. Rinse the dough under cold water repeatedly to discard excess starch.
  5. Once rinsed, shape the dough into your desired forms.
  6. In a pot, simmer the shaped dough in seasoned vegetable broth for about 1 hour.
  7. Once cooked, allow the vegan chicken to cool in the broth, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.

Notes

Serve with a tangy dipping sauce for added flavor. Store in broth for optimal freshness.
