Yield

10 patties

How To Prepare

In a bowl, pour the water and soy sauce over the textured vegetable protein. When soft, add all the other ingredients, except gluten flour and mix well.

When the mixture is cool, add the gluten flour. Mix well with your hands, then shape into 10 thin patties.

Steam-fry in two batches in a lightly oiled heavy skillet over medium heat, covered, until firm and browned (7 to 10 minutes per side for patties).

These can be refrigerated or frozen for later use. To reheat, place in a covered, lightly oiled skillet with a few tablespoons of water and cook over high heat until the water has evaporated.
