Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, chickpea flour, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, vegetable broth, and liquid smoke. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough in the bowl for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes elastic.

  4. 4

    Shape the Sausages

    Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into sausage links or patties. You can also roll them in parchment paper for a more traditional sausage shape.

  5. 5

    Cook the Sausages

    Steam the sausages for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can pan-fry them in a little bit of oil until golden brown on all sides.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve hot with your favorite condiments or sides.
