Ingredients
- - 1 block tempeh cut into strips (about 1 cm thick)
- - 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- - 1 tbsp chili powder
- - 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- - 1/2 tsp paprika
- - 1 tbsp garlic powder
- - 1/2 tsp onion powder
- - 1/2 tsp cayenne optional if you are a fan of spicy
- - 1/4 tsp salt
- - 1/2 tsp agave nectar or maple syrup
- - 1 tbsp cornstarch
- - 2 tsp coconut oil
- - 2 tbsp melted Earth Balance
- - about 2 cups panko crumbs I used a bit less actually - for GF, use crushed up Rice Chex or even just GF Rice Krispies.
Instructions
- First make the buffalo sauce using a saucepan and mixing together rice vinegar, chili powder, smoked paprika, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, agave, cornstarch, coconut oil, and cayenne if that's what you're into. Stir over medium-low heat until mixed.
- Remove from heat, and mix in melted butter.
- Preheat oven to 350 and prepare the panko crumbs for coating by putting them in a shallow bowl.
- Coat the tempeh strips with the sauce and then gently press them into the panko crumbs to coat.
- Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges of panko start to brown.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately with your favourite ranch sauce. The sauce I have depicted above is veganaise with paprika, chive, and a little bit of almond milk.
