Ingredients

Bean Curd Soaking Liquid

Vegan drumettes

  • 1 pack tofu skin (Yuba skin, bean curd skin)
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 6 popsicle sticks lemon grass or sugarcane
  • 6 rice paper sheets
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ cup olive oil

Spicy Asian Sticky Sauce

Instructions

  • Combine all of the bean curd soaking liquid ingredients, and bring to a simmer.
  • Remove from the heat, and steep for 15 minutes.
  • Pour the liquid into a container large enough to hold the bean curd sheets.
  • Add the bean curd sheets to the liquid. Allow the sheets to soak for 15 minutes. Don't throw the soaking liquid out. Set aside.
  • Squeeze the tofu skin gently, removing the soaking liquid.
  • Combine the 2 Tbsp cornstarch and some of the soaking liquid.
  • Brush the sheet with the cornstarch/soaking liquid slurry.
  • Cut the sheets into strips 1 inch in width.
  • Wrap the strips around your stick. Make sure to wrap tightly around the stick. Continue to wrap the tofu strips around each other forming a thicker end.
  • Soak the rice paper in cold water plus a little of the soaking liquid until soft and flexible.
  • Wrap the rice paper around the drumette. Firmly squeeze the drumette to form and compress the drumette.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Roll the drumette in the cornstarch, and cook until crispy and golden brown. Place the fried drumettes in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

How to Make the Spicy Asian Sticky Sauce

  • Combine the sweet soy sauce, gochujang, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic. Mix to incorporate.
  • To finish, toss the cooked drumettes with the sauce and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
