The preparation of plain Vegan Drumsticks is quite unique. The main ingredients are wheat gluten and bamboo shoots. Some people also use rolls of dried bean curd sheets and tofu skin as substitutes for wheat gluten, which also yield a delicious taste. The Vegan Drumsticks I shared primarily come in three flavors: savory, aromatic, and sweet. Additionally, you can add ingredients such as chili, vinegar, and pepper powder to create different variations of Vegan Drumsticks.
Ingredients
- 400 g of flour
- 400 mL of water
- 4 g of salt
- 200 g bamboo shoots
- 150 g edible oil
- 5 g white sugar
- 10 g soy sauce
- 5g dark soy sauce
- chives
Instructions
- What I'm going to make today is Vegan Drumsticks, which are primarily made from wheat gluten and bamboo shoots.
- Method for Making Water Gluten: Mix 400 g of flour, 400 ml of water, and 4 g of salt evenly, then knead the mixture into a dough. Next, place the dough in water and knead it continuously. The water will gradually become clear, leaving behind a sticky batter known as gluten.
- Then prepare 200 g of fresh bamboo shoots and cut them into long strips.
- Then take a ball of gluten and wrap it around a cut bamboo shoot, making it resemble a chicken leg.
- Add 150 g of cooking oil to the wok, heat it up, and then place the vegetarian chicken leg into the wok. Reduce the heat to low and fry for 3 minutes, flipping the chicken leg halfway through to ensure both sides are golden brown.
- Then add 200 ml of water to the pot and heat it. Add the freshly fried Vegan Drumsticks, followed by 5 g of white sugar, 10 g of light soy sauce, and 5 g of dark soy sauce. Boil for 2 minutes, and the Vegan Drumsticks will be ready.
- You can also add chili, pepper powder, vinegar, and other ingredients in the final step to season the dish, making the Vegan Drumsticks even more delicious.
Notes
1、Patience is essential when making water gluten, and the process of repeatedly kneading the dough in water to extract the gluten is quite fascinating.

Can eating Vegan Drumsticks aid in weight loss?
The Vegan Drumsticks I shared contain a lot of oil after frying, which is not conducive to weight loss. However, you can use boiled water instead of frying the chicken legs. Non-greasy Vegan Drumsticks are beneficial for weight loss.
Are there alternative methods to make Vegan Drumsticks?
You can also use bean curd skin and rolls of dried soy milk cream as substitutes for surface tendons. These ingredients can be purchased at the supermarket. They are very easy to use when making Vegan Drumsticks. I have chosen light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white sugar as seasonings. Additionally, you can add chili, vinegar, pepper powder, tomato sauce, chili sauce, and other ingredients to create a more distinctive flavor for the Vegan Drumsticks.
How should Vegan Drumsticks be stored?
After the pan-fried Vegan Drumsticks have cooled, wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate. However, do not store them for more than 24 hours.
