What are the main ingredients for the homemade seitan chicken?

The seitan chicken is primarily made from vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, reduced-salt soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder, kneaded into a dough and then steamed.

How is the plant-based cheese sauce made without dairy?

The creamy cheese sauce is crafted by boiling potatoes and carrots until soft, then blending them with extra virgin olive oil, soya milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and reduced-salt soy sauce until smooth.

Can I prepare any components of the Dirty Fries ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the seitan chicken by steaming and cutting it into chunks in advance. The cheese sauce can also be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.

How should I store leftover Dirty Fries?

Store any leftover assembled Dirty Fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. For best results, reheat the fries in an oven or air fryer to regain crispness.

How to Prepare Dirty Fries [Vegan]

For the Fries

Pre-heat the oven to 360°F
Cut the potatoes into fries shapes (however thick you wish) then add into an oven tray along with the other ingredients, and ensure the potatoes are covered
Place in the oven for about 30-40 minutes until crisp, make sure you move them around every 10 minutes

For the Seitan Chicken

Combine all the seitan chicken ingredients (except the water) in a bowl a mix until combined, then add the water and knead until a dough-type mixture is formed
Roll the dough into a ball then roll in some foil until covered and twist the ends to seal – then place the seitan in a steamer for 40 minutes (make sure you turn it over half way through)
After 40 minutes, let the seitan cool for a couple of minutes, then cut it into small chunks (ready for frying)
Heat the oil in a pan, then sprinkle in the 1 teaspoon of smoke paprika and add the seitan and stir until covered – then fry for about 4/5 minutes until it’s all crisped

For the Cheese Sauce

Boil the potatoes and carrot in water until soft (~10-15 minutes)
Then add to a food processor and blend with the rest of the ingredients until smooth and a sauce forms
