Preparation Steps
1. Prepare the TVP
In a large bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein and vegetable broth. Let it sit for 15 minutes until the TVP absorbs the liquid and softens.
2. Make the Breading Station
In one bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a second bowl, pour the plant-based milk. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
3. Shape the Tenders
Once the TVP is softened, shape it into tender-like strips.
4. Coat the Tenders
Dip each strip first into the flour mixture, then into the plant-based milk, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
5. Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. Fry the Tenders
Carefully place the coated tenders into the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain and Serve
Remove the tenders from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of sauce and ranch on the side.
