step by step
Method
- Step 1
Soften the tofu skin
- Cover the dried tofu skin with boiling water.
- Let it soak for about 10 minutes until soft.
- Step 2
Make the broth and flavor the tofu skin
- Bring water with no-chicken bouillon cubes to a boil.
- Add mushroom seasoning, nutritional yeast and vegan cheese seasoning.
- Add the softened tofu skin to the boiling broth so it takes on the chicken flavor.
- Step 3
Make the slurry
- Mix 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water.
- Add the slurry to the cooked tofu skin to help it stick together.
- Step 4
Shape the drumsticks
- Wrap each piece of tofu skin around a wooden bone (or a spoon/foil handle).
- Tuck it underneath to form a drumstick shape.
- Step 5
Add the rice paper skin
- Wet the rice paper in the same broth used to cook everything.
- Wrap it around the drumstick so it acts like a chicken skin and holds everything together.
- Step 6
Make the batter and fry
- Prepare a batter of cornstarch, flour, water and KFC seasoning.
- Coat each drumstick in the batter.
- Fry in hot oil until golden and crispy.
