ABOUT Soya Chunks Manchurian RECIPE

I love Indo-Chinese Cuisine for the unique taste and the use of spicy tangy sauces which make their dishes mouth watering . Stir fries and Manchurian remain my all time favorite. This is a dry Manchurian dish made from protein rich and nutritious Soya Chunks / meal maker and serves as an excellent starter dish and a nice variation to the regular vegetable or Chicken Manchurian.

50 gram Soya Chunks/ Nuggets
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 medium size onion finely chopped
1/2 inch piece of ginger finely chopped
2-3 tsp Schezwan Sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp vinegar
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp Corn Flour
Salt to taste

Instructions

Soak the soya nuggets in hot water for 15 minutes. The soya nuggets will absorb the water and become double of it's original size.
Squeeze out all the water from the nuggets and wash them thoroughly under running water in a colander. Now once again squeeze out the water and place the nuggets in a bowl.
Add 1 tbsp of corn flour, salt, freshly ground black pepper, 1 tsp schezwan sauce and mix it properly to coat the nuggets evenly. Let the soya nuggets marinate in this mixture for about 15 minutes.
Shallow fry the marinated nuggets in 2 tbsp oil until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep stirring. Remove the nuggets and place them on an absorbent paper.
Heat up the left over oil in the wok, add in the chopped garlic, ginger and stir till the raw smell goes away and it turns golden brown.
Mix the soy sauce, vinegar and left schezwan sauce together in a small bowl. In another bowl, add 1/2 tsp corn starch and mix it with some water, add this to the sauce mixture.
Now add the chopped onions to it. Stir the onions for few seconds on a high heat. Now simmer the flame, then add in the sauce mixture and mix well .
Add the soya nuggets to this slurry and stir fry nicely on a medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the flame, once the gravy coats the soya nuggets evenly.
Garnish the Soya Chunks Manchurian with Spring Onion Greens and serve it immediately.
