Fries Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180*C (fan-oven)
- 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
Seitan Chicken Method:
- 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 tsp. of smoke paprika and add the seitan and stir until covered – then fry for about 4/5 minutes until it’s all crisped
Cheese Sauce Method:
- 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
Assembly:
- Top the fries with cheese sauce, chicken and any other ingredients you want – we added spring onions and jalapeños too, then enjoy!
