1 tsp salt
½ onion powder
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
500g unbleached white flour
4 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
3 tbsp yellow mustard
125ml water
2 tbsp baking powder
1lb mock chicked (in the US, try Gardein brand) or drained, firm tofu cut into chunks
875ml vegetable oil

Method

Mix together the salt, onion powder, pepper, garlic powder, flour and nutritional yeast in a deep bowl.

In a separate bowl, dilute the mustard with the water.

Add 75g of the flour mixture to the mustard mixture and stir. Add the baking powder to the dry flour mixture and mix.

Dip chunks of the mock chicken into the mustard batter, then drop each chunk into the flour mixture and coat with the desired amount of “crust”.

Fry the chunks in hot oil on a medium-high heat in a large skillet or deep fryer until crispy and golden brown, turning as needed.
