Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Extra firm tofu
- 1 cup Vital wheat gluten
- 1 tbsp Nutrititional yeast
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Liquid smoke
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 large Carrot, grated
- 1 small Beetroot, grated
- 1 large Pepper, diced
- 1 medium Red onion, diced
- 8 pieces Bamboo skewers
Instructions
Begin by pressing the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel, place a weight on top, and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the pressed tofu into small pieces.
Add the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly with your hands until the mixture begins to form a dough.
Stir in the soy sauce, olive oil, liquid smoke, and maple syrup. Continue mixing until everything is well incorporated and the dough is firm yet pliable.
Grate the carrot and beetroot and add them to the dough, mixing well.
Divide the dough into small, even portions and shape each piece into a substantial kebab form, with an emphasis on a uniform thickness for even cooking.
Dice the pepper and red onion into large chunks, suitable for skewering.
Thread each skewer with alternating segments of shaped dough, diced pepper, and onion.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the kebabs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill, cooking for about 15 minutes and turning occasionally until each side is charred and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve these juicy vegan pork kebabs hot with your favorite vegan dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
