This 2 Ingredient Vegan Chicken Recipe is a simple, homemade plant-based alternative to traditional chicken using just flour and water. The dough is kneaded, washed, and simmered in a flavorful vegetable broth seasoned with garlic and onion powder, then shredded to replicate the texture of chicken. Perfect for vegan dishes requiring a meat substitute, it’s both versatile and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 1¾ cup water
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

For the Broth

  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour with 1¾ cup water and 2 tablespoons soy sauce to form a shaggy dough.
  2. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a clean surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes, adding extra flour if the dough is sticky, until smooth and elastic.
  3. Rest the Dough: Place the dough in a bowl of water and let it rest for 1 to 2 hours to hydrate fully.
  4. Wash and Rinse the Dough: Squeeze and rinse the dough repeatedly underwater, discarding the cloudy, starchy water after the initial washes, until the dough becomes elastic and beige in color.
  5. Shape the Dough: Shape the dough into a braid and then tie it into a knot for uniform cooking.
  6. Simmer in Broth: Prepare a broth by combining 6 cups vegetable broth with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 2 teaspoons onion powder. Simmer the shaped dough in the seasoned broth for 1 hour, flipping it halfway through to cook evenly.
  7. Cool and Shred: Allow the cooked dough to cool in the broth, then shred it using forks to achieve a chicken-like texture. Use as desired in your favorite vegan recipes.

Notes

  • Washing the dough removes the starch and leaves behind gluten, which gives the vegan chicken its meaty texture.
  • Make sure not to rush the washing step to achieve the best texture.
  • Season the broth well to infuse the vegan chicken with flavor during simmering.
  • Store any leftovers in the broth in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • This vegan chicken substitute works great in sandwiches, stir-fries, salads, and casseroles.
