These don’t have the stringy soy texture, just a solid meaty nugget here, but they totally serve the same purpose. And with the seasoning in both the breading and the seitan, I don’t even so much as salt these.

VeganDad also has a recipe for a mcnug-alike but I prefer this one. More savory, less sweet. With both of the recipes, though, I find myself using less water than he does. I don’t know if that Canadian water is less watery or what, but I’m definitely on the low end of his water range.

Aside from the money saved, these are so healthy. So low in fat and so few ingredients. I love it when a plan comes together.

Thank you so much for this post! That is the one packaged food I miss is the fake nuggets from Trader Joe’s. Trying to not do any packaged food and now I have hope that I can have something similar to a nugget again! Thanks!
