Vegan sausages
A delicious, healthy vegan sausage made from smoked tofu and rice paper. It is gluten-free, low in fat, and tastes like a meat sausage. Juicy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or even to take with you on the go.
Ingredients
- 400 g smoked tofu
- 2 onions finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp tamari sauce or soy sauce
- 2 tbsp yeast flakes
- 2 tsp smoky salt
- 1 tsp thyme or marjoram
- 2-4 tbsp chickpea flour (or other flour)
- 10 rice paper sheets
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté the onions and garlic in a pan until translucent.
- Finely crumble the smoked tofu with your hands until it has an even, slightly grainy texture.
- Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the tofu and fold in the mustard, tomato paste, tamari sauce/soy sauce, yeast flakes, smoked salt, and herbs.
- Knead everything thoroughly. The mixture should be moldable; if it seems too soft, add a little chickpea flour (or other flour).
- Season with salt and pepper.
- For the wrapper, hold a rice paper sheet under running water for about three seconds, place it on a board, and place a portion of the tofu mixture in the center. Press the mixture down lightly. Then roll the rice paper up tightly and fold in the ends.
- Continue until all the sausages are formed.
- Then fry the rolls in a pan with a little oil until browned all over.
- The combination of rice paper wrapper and spicy tofu filling creates a juicy, firm interior and a tender, slightly crispy exterior.
- Best served fresh!
Notes
The sausages go very well with the vegan potato salad from my cookbook Ein Bauch voll Glück (A Belly Full of Happiness)*. :)
