An auntie in my hometown sells this!! The only difference is she used lemongrass as the stick 😍 she serves it with sambal.. i cant wait to make this on my own!

[@WoonHeng]

Hey Jess, yeah, lemongrass stick will have a great flavor addition. :-) my aunt likes to use lotus root. Good luck and happy cooking. :-)

[@purevision2013]

Looks amazing! What can I substitute for the tofu skin? Is there an another type of skin I can used made from another plant base product?

[@Abi_ebenezer]

Made this today. It's amazing. I actually got lazy from twirling it around the stick. So I made a ball instead hahahah.

[@WoonHeng]

yay, thanks so much Abigail. I am pretty sure the balls version are yum as well. Many thanks for your comment. Have a wonderful day. Best, WoonHeng

[@gopimatadevidasipelagio1471]

Hi! What brand of yuba did you use? And can I purchase this in any local store? Thank you!😊

[@lxndrw__4134]

i feel i just found the perfect vegan recipe for my game of thrones-dinnerparty (for the people who do not eat fish, what i had planned as the main dish) 😍

[@komtooncartoondrawings2562]

now we can veganize anything we want, so delectable to resist

[@WoonHeng]

yass! :-)

[@discord37]

That looks amazing but I'll have to figure out how to make it without an air fryer unless I decide it's time to get one.

[@WoonHeng]

Hey Debbie, you can place the drumsticks on a greased baking pan an bake at 350F.

[@QueeningDaSaladsWithTeaMoandFu]

I’m a vegan as well for the past 10 years. The chicken looks very realistic, but this method is very hard on the digestive tracts! Looks good though 👍

[@TG-ir1kk]

While you're wrapping the yuba into the drumstick form, could you baste with the soy sauce mix as you go? Or would that be too salty?

[@WoonHeng]

Yes you can and you can dilute the baste before putting into the air fryer. Good suggestion! :-)😊

[@mcdc8636]

Where can I purchase the sugarcane sticks? Or is there an alternative which is easier to get? :) thank you for the recipe and video BTW. It looks great! I'll have to try it 🥰

[@WoonHeng]

yes, you can use carrot and cut into sticks. :-) or popsicle wooden sticks.

[@sherineclarke8292]

You can buy sugar cane in the can and cut them. Super easy👍🏽

[@meixiangchaidalin861]

Hello, sis. I want to know where can i buy that air fryer? And usually how much does it cost? Thank you ❤

[@WoonHeng]

hey dear, you can check it online. My is Ninja and I got them on sale during Thanksgiving. If I remember correctly, it's less than 60bucks. :-)

[@dewiwulandari2385]

Hey, i really love tofu skin, is that ok if i fry this with vegetable oil?

[@WoonHeng]

of course, Dewi. That's how most seller do too. :-)

[@DK-qj7cr]

TFS have you tried frying in oil? Just wondering 💭

[@WoonHeng]

it should be better! frying in oil is also faster. :-)

[@woke688]

What's meaning 5 spices powder? Nutmeg, garlic, pepper please explain thank you

[@WoonHeng]

Hi there, I used Chinese 5 spice powder that is premix.

[@user-xu6jz3tc5v]

請問食材能翻譯為中文嗎

[@jasminatf]

Hi! Can I ask what the plastic wrappers are for? I’m reducing my plastic waste so I’m hoping I can skip the wrapping of the drumsticks. Thanks :)

[@nataschalachlan]

hi, I think it's to help keep the shape in the fridge!

[@WoonHeng]

Hi Jasmine, it helps to keep them in shape, you can try to use parchment paper as well.

[@WoonHeng]

yes, Jess, you are right. :-) Thank you!

[@nataschalachlan]

@@WoonHeng hehe I tried without the plastic wrap and it came out less plumpy, but it still tasted amazing 😍

[@sherineclarke8292]

You can also use Rice Paper to create the chicken “skin” and it’s edible😋

[@Pusssit]

😋❤️❤️

[@skyabove1032]

Hello, Can i deep fry if I don't have an air fryer ?

[@TheLifeCoachJimmy]

Someone please answer😢😢

[@Aviluv]

What brand is the tofu skin that you use?

[@WoonHeng]

ah.. it's called Xiang Ju with a big lotus flower as the logo

[@hannahw.1078]

Looks really delicious and is a lot simpler than a other vegan drumstick recipe I normally make. :) Is it possible to make them in the oven? If yes, which temperature and how long?

[@WoonHeng]

Hi Hannah, yes, you can. Over on Instagram, a lot of readers have made with the baked version. You can lay the wrapped vegan drumsticks on a greased baking pan. Then, brush or spray a thin layer of top. Bake at 375-425F depending on the oil you use until golden. If you want a crispier top, you can broil it for the last few minutes.

[@hannahw.1078]

@@WoonHeng Thanks a lot! 😊

[@lkhagvaatsengel7211]

❤️🍀

[@WoonHeng]

thank you!

[@annieyang8370]

I think the lotus can be used as a stick

[@WoonHeng]

yup yup! I had on my blog because my aunt likes to use that. Thanks, Annie!

[@Kizzmycntryazz]

At the other tofu skins you should make Tofu food skin roll .... yuba

[@WoonHeng]

thanks so much for sharing. I do have a video for yuba skin veggie roll. :-)

[@Kizzmycntryazz]

😁❤

[@WoonHeng]

Looks yummy ✨ love from Hot POORIZ kitchen . Living . Gardening .

To the only person to dislike this video, you must be having a bad day. Turn that frown upside down, and that dislike into a like.

[@WoonHeng]

:-) it's okay, probably a mistake lol. :-)

[@walkingcorpse1224]

I would eat em' if they were mass produced. This unfortunately just takes too long to make.

[@WoonHeng]

they actually do have vegan drumsticks but made with soy protein and not yuba. :-) you can find that at a lot of online vegan grocery stores. :-)
