6 seitan cutlets

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1 cup panko crumbs

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ cup raw cashews

½ cup unsweetened plain vegan milk

Neutral oil, for frying

1 cup Jack Daniels Glaze

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

1. Cut the seitan into 1-inch strips. Combine the flour, panko, paprika, garlic and salt in a shallow pan. Set aside.

2. Blend the cashews and milk until smooth using a blender and transfer to a separate shallow pan.

3. Dredge each seitan piece in the flour, then in the milk and back into the flour. Set aside.

4. Heat 1-inch oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 kernels of popcorn. When the popcorn pops, the oil is at the correct temperature. Cook the battered pieces in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

5. Toss the fried pieces with the glaze and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve the strips with any leftover glaze.
