And the work nobody shows lol

I am not very good at deep frying, and made some mistakes. Probably I could do these in my oven pretty well. Magnificent spicing to the batter, never paying for overpriced and bland nuggets again.
I think I deep fry at home like once or twice a year max because it’s a pain in the butt. But the output is always so nice and evenly crisp in a way you just can’t replicate through baking. Inevitably I come back to the conclusion that the effort-health-reward tradeoff isn’t quite worth it on a regular basis.
I’ve got to say, though, those look frickin delicious, and I’m a bit jealous. :)
Yeah I go years without doing it, then get into a craze and do it maybe 5 times in 3 months and then get sick of it.
Generally stuff ends up too oily for my tastes but the texture is always unbeatable.
I need to have a good play with my oven and find the best way to cook crispy stuff with it.
Every try in an air fryer? I just can’t be bothered to do any actual frying with oil these days. I save my fried food consumption for when I’m out with friends and the only vegan option is French fries or tots 😂
That being said, what’s that sauce you got going on in the pic?
Air friers are just convention ovens so yes given that my oven is a convection oven :p
The sauce is in the recipe book. I think it’s an excellent book and would encourage you to have a look at his website/get his book. Idk I feel weird copypasting stuff since writing books is extremely hard and the recipeblog industry isn’t exactly known for it’s reliable income.
Dang looking good! Thanks for the link. :) Always good to see good seasoning on nuggets. I am way too lazy to deep fry (what a pain) but I’ve always found air frying to be close enough while saving a ton of effort. I think you will find baking an acceptable substitute for frying on these.
A bit off topic, but I am very jealous of your cabinetry. I tend to prefer drawers over regular cabinet boxes for most of my storage needs below the counter.
I have mixed opinions on this kitchen. The rangehood and stove are borked, the construction is low quality (I fucking hate MDF laminates in wet areas), the benches are too low and cause back pain, and the benchtops are made of human killing silica that it’s not basically illegal to work on (e.g. to fix to stove lol).
But I do like the heavy use of drawers, although since there is no pantry the drawers are about 50% pantry.
Tofu is the goat
