PRESSURE COOKER THAI NUGGETS

PRESSURE COOKER THAI NUGGETS

SERVES 4 PORTIONS

  • 3⁄4 cup plus 3 tbsp vital wheat gluten
  • 1⁄4 cup chickpea flour
  • 1⁄2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1⁄2 tsp salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1⁄4 tsp paprika
  • 3⁄4 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tsp tamari, divided
  • 4 tsp red curry paste, divided
  • 1 1⁄2 cups vegetable broth, divided
  • NUTRITIONAL VALUES

    Calories: 261kcal
    Fat: 5.3g (0.6g S.Fat)
    Carbs: 55.1g
    Protein: 4.7g
    Sugar: 27.2g
    Sodium: 212mg

    METHOD

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten, flour, ginger, salt, garlic powder, and paprika.

    In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon tamari, and 2 teaspoon red curry paste. Combine the wet and dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

    Combine the ingredients and knead for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the dough is elastic. It's a very wet dough, but it's still quite elastic. It should be slightly stretchy and pull back while remaining pliable. Pinch off small pieces of seitan dough, about 1 to 1 1/2 inch in diameter. When cooked, they will swell up. Put everything in an electric pressure cooker.

    Stir together 1 1/2 cup vegetable broth, 1 1/2 cup water, and 2 tsp red curry paste in a mixing bowl. Pour the mixture over the nuggets in the pressure cooker. Close the lid and make sure the top knob is turned to the sealing position. On the front of the pot, press the Manual button. Set the button to 4 (meaning 4 minutes). The pressure cooker will make a clicking sound and will begin to build pressure. Building pressure and cooking time will take about 15 minutes. Allow the nuggets to set in the pot. They will continue to cook as the pressure naturally releases. Don't rant.

    Go ahead and vent after about an hour. It may have already cooled completely, but vent to ensure that all pressure has been released before opening the lid.

    Remove the nuggets from the liquid and place them on a cooling rack to cool. You can eat them right away, add them to a recipe, or store them in the refrigerator overnight. They're even better the next day. You can also put them in the freezer.

    In a blender, combine all of the cheese ingredients and blend until smooth. Place the blended mixture in a saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. It will take between 5 and 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

    ASSEMBLY:
    On each flatbread, spread a 1/2-cup layer of cashew cheese. Half of the spinach should be spread on each flatbread. Divide the seitan, artichokes, tomatoes, and olives among the flatbreads and distribute evenly.

    METHOD

    In a large saucepan, combine the rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, covered. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed.

    If your air fryer does not already have a built-in insert, add one now.

    Set aside the soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, Chinese five spice, ginger, and white wine in a small bowl.

    Put the mushrooms in the air fryer to cook. If you have the option, set your thermostat to 350°F (180°C). Otherwise, simply turn it on—my air fryer temperature is pre-programmed and always cooks at 338°F. Cooking time is 10 minutes. Add the seitan nuggets to the air fryer. Stir if your air fryer does not have a built-in self-stirrer. Over the top, pour the liquid mixture and peas. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Stir in the rice thoroughly. 2 minutes on high heat Serve.
    RECIPE NOTES
