Answers:
Dont use tofu! Get yourself to a health food store, and get yourself some seitan (Vital wheat gluten) and make this recipe (Just cut the seitan down to nugget sized pieces) I made this, and it tastes sooooooo good! Don't be intimidated by working with seitan! The results are great when done!:
Southern Fried Country Mock "Chicken"
INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp salt or seasoned salt
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
dash cayenne (optional)
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup vegan bread crumbs (I used japanese style bread crumbs, the kind used in tempura, and it turned out great!!!)
1/4 cup yellow mustard (Or dijon, as long as it doesn't have honey in it)
2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup water
1 lb seitan or other chicken substitute, cut into 1-2" square pieces
oil for frying
PREPARATION:
In a medium to large bowl, mix together the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, flour, black pepper, cayenne and nutritional yeast!.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mustard and water!. Add 1/3 cup of the flour mixture to the mustard mixture and combine well!.
Add baking powder to the flour mixture and combine well!.
Coat pieces of seitan or mock chicken with the mustard batter, then coat each piece with the dry flour mixture!.
Fry chunks of "chicken" in the oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet for 3-5 minutes, turning once until golden brown!. Drain on a paper towel, serve with ketchup or barbeque sauce and enjoy!
**HEY!!! If your chunks are turning brown or black rather than a crispy golden brown, your oil is probably too hot! Reduce the heat a small amount and try again!.**Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just as mock turtle soup is made of mock turtles, fake chicken nuggets are made of fake chickens!.

Use firm pressed tofu!. It's best if you freeze it, thaw it, press it well, then cut into nuggets!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
My friend eats quorn and I am sure you could use that instead of chicken!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
