I just saw a video with ‪@emmymade‬ where she used rice paper as a crispy fried chicken batter replacement! So I thought lets make this plant based! Lets test 3 different vegan chicken recipes and see which one works the best using this crispy chicken secret!
Emmymade used the recipe from 하루한끼 one meal a day • 쌀종이 치킨 Rice Paper Chicken
This was also a take on Future Lettuce gluten free soy skin chicken!

Hey Sauce Stache!! This is just a suggestion, but I think you should look into what Buddhist monks eat! All of them are vegetarian and they've been perfecting the vegetarian/vegan cuisine for literally thousands of years now. A lot of the food on your channel-- Saitan, okara, fried tofu skins, soy curls, etc.. are all foods I ate growing up b/c the Buddhist temple near my house sold them!

[@HaluStorm]

That's pretty cool

[@Marianna2877]

Agreed! I learned to be vegetarian/vegan from my Buddhist employers. Learned a lot from them and the foods is amazing. And when I was in Taiwan, it just vegetarian/vegan heaven.

[@givepeasachance_]

I saw a video a few weeks ago from The Korean Vegan where she did tofu wrapped in rice paper and whenI saw your video I got excited because I thought you were going to recreate that. These options looked really good as well.

[@SauceStache]

Ohhh I wish I would have seen that!!! I’m going to look now!

[@danielmorrison6914]

Hello How are you doing Samantha?

[@jamesglenn6731]

@@SauceStache hello 👋 how are you doing

[@klphotographer]

I've been experimenting with a recipe of jackfruit chick'n, and then dipping my rice paper in a chick'n broth/coconut oil emulsion. I think the addition of the oil makes for a more realistic skin type texture and mouth feel (and flavour!). I then wrap the jackfruit in my oily rice paper skins, dip in seasoned flour and fry. It isn't 100% there yet, but I think it's an idea worth exploring!

[@jamesglenn6731]

Hello 👋 how are you doing

[@martian10712]

There's a new vegan chicken nugget product at my grocery store that I believe uses the soy skin technique. They are AMAZING! It's called "Daring Chicken." You can deep fry, air fry, or cook in the oven. I had amazing results with spraying a thin coat of olive oil cooking spray, and baking in the oven. If you could figure out how they make them, it would be awesome, as the product is pretty expensive. ♡ Hope you feel better soon! ♡

[@mirandabeckner5573]

Daring is by far the BEST vegan chicken I have ever tasted. It’s delicious

[@charbernard]

Lol, all that we vegans ask is that folks occasionally consider plant alternatives. Thanks for watching saucestache! Also, thank you from the bottom of my ❤️ for not saying that this sounds good but that you’d add cheese inside and wrap in bacon 😂(even if you would 😉).

[@JTMusicbox]

All three versions came out awesome! This technique of wrapping things in rice paper to deep fry has so many potential applications!

[@SauceStache]

Thank you!! Yeah it’s wild. Rice paper is so versatile

[@lukedo6127]

Potential is always there. The authentic Vietnamese spring roll ( cha gio) uses this kind of rice paper. The issue with recreating the authentic version in US is that this type of spring roll is not suitable to store for long period. Freezer unfriendly, so mass pre prepared is out of question. Restaurant owners can’t keep the price down for this dish having somebody on the standby preparing for this cha gio. Also veggie cha gio with this rice paper wrap is much more difficult because stuffing can’t be too moist yet you don’t want it to be too dry. Require more care during frying and handle. So the difficulty kills the authenticity.

Hey, may I make a suggestion? Tasting History made a video of him trying Parthian Chicken, an amazing recipe that the romans had in ancient times!

[@thewiseturtle]

Years ago there was a vegetarian restaurant in Boston's Chinatown called Buddha's Delight which had a full sized "lobster" that was utterly amazing. I think the edible "shell" was made with fried bean curd sheets (colored red!), and the inside was a "meaty" mix of who knows what plant-based bits of "bug guts", plus bean thread noodles that acted like the blood vessels or nerves or whatever the stringy things in crustaceans are (I've never eaten them, but I've seen others eat them). I miss that place so much!

[@greyiasplaysgames]

When I saw Emmy’s video, I wondered what your take on it might look like! This looks really good-wish I was better set up for deep frying! Do you think you could get a similar crunch at all either air frying or oven frying?

[@AndzyGM]

So I actually did this today however I think I made a mistake of making the ones (that are soy skin) too big and couldn't get that chicken nugget flavor I follow everything in order but nonetheless this was really easy to make and ill practice more of it when I do this again, thanks for this video man your awesome!

[@rachcampb]

I saw Emmy's video and wondered if this might give you an idea 👍. It seems like rice paper is having a thing, as I've also seen a couple of rice paper tteobokki videos lately too.

[@kabztunes]

i took your chck'un burger video but did this instead of the methocelulose and it worked really well :)

[@iis.1989]

That crunch is music to my years... =))

[@Paganbeliever]

Unrelated to rice paper chickun.. I made eggplant cutlets using your meat tenderizer technique (though I also pounded them with a hammer) and coated them in panko.. Best effin eggplant I've ever eaten Edit: I honestly believe you were going to try the jackfruit chickun you did a long time ago.. but i'll try that myself

[@thatsalt1560]

But ... eggplant is naturally tender (well, it's mushy) when you've cooked it. How on earth did that remain in one piece after slamming them with a hammer and then cooking it?

[@Paganbeliever]

@@thatsalt1560 the answer is going easy with the Hammering. It also helps if you draw out all or most of the water before you smash

[@potridge]

Would these work as well by cooking them in the air fryer?

[@saraatppkdotpt8140]

Consistently nice content 👍

[@sum_rye_hash_321]

Can you combine the soy skin with seitan and make a nugget that has the best of both? I think folding/kneading the skins into the seitan could work well, then the rice paper wrap.

Love your videos its always really interesting to see how you can make these foods look like real meat. I dont think I personally could ever go vegan but seeing these makes me want to at least try for a bit to see if I could do it. Keep up the good work!

[@carinecampier]

@Binley most vegan used to say just the same thing, I, for one, never thought I would stop eating meat and dairy… Also, most vegans regret not making the shift earlier, so my advice to you would be to save yourself the regret and just try, one meal at a time, focus on what you enjoy already or is simple to veganize… just go for it 😉

[@stephaniemacfarlane7297]

I'm really curious how these compare to tofu! Awesome video as always, and I hope you're fully healthy soon

[@SharonLougheed]

Yes, I thought the same thing when I saw the title of Emmy's video. But yeah, she probably didn't think how that could be confusing. Using rice paper instead of a batter is pretty nifty tho. I saw a video where a guy fried a whole pack of rice paper to make a crispy rice snack, didn't think how that could be used in other ways. And I didn't see the soy skin one before, neat!

Can wait to try the soy skin one. I did soy skin beef that came out good. We have Buona Beef out here that came out with a beefless beef sandwich that it is awesome. 😊 keep making video , i like do idea Whole Food in turning into fast food favors better than buying process fast food make believe. There's a big difference when I eat the process food that they sell in the grocery store I feel like it does something to my stomach I just eat it just to get rid of the craving. But when you make food like that, that I could digest better.

[@no-nr6de]

I wad really thrown off by what you mean by soyskin? I dunno if its just a US thing but what is it? Never heard of that in the UK. You also said the seitan is a seitan and soyskin? Are you refering to the ricepaper? Im unsure of whats going on

[@sarahjo9975]

Soyskin is sometimes called Yuba, tofu skin, or bean curd sheets. It's a pretty common product in a lot of Asian countries. They're really thin layers of soy that form when you boil soy milk, often frozen and/or dried for later use. He talked about them more in his vegan Arby's beef video, his vegan drumsticks video, and a few others. "Yuba" is a good search term if you want to look more into it.

Do you mean the meat alternatives? There could be many different reasons. For example, some people can become seriously allergic to meat but really miss the flavor/texture, some people want tasty options for less money than regular meat, some people want alternatives for religious reasons, some people want to avoid all the hormones/chemicals the meat industry shoves into everything, some people want to avoid cholesterol, and some people just want to enjoy good tasting food without thinking about an animal suffering in the process.
