How to Make It
Alright, let’s get cozy with this Fry’s Chicken À Braz magic! Start by blending that handsome block of silken tofu—350 grams of smooth, creamy goodness—with half a cup of soy or almond milk. Toss in a couple teaspoons of turmeric for that sunny yellow vibe, plus a pinch of sea salt and black pepper to keep things sassy. Whirl it all in your food processor until it’s silky and egg-like—because who says eggs get to have all the fun? This tofu mix is your vegan “egg” superstar.
Now, chop up 175 grams of Fry’s chicken strips into bite-sized chunks—perfect for sneaky bites—and slice one medium onion nice and thin. Heat a quarter cup of olive oil in your pan until it’s shimmering like a dance floor, then toss in those onions. Let them cook until they’re golden and smelling like sweet caramel dreams.
After that, invite your chicken chunks to the party, seasoning them with black pepper and a cheeky teaspoon of cayenne to keep things interesting. Let these flavors mingle and cook up for a bit—because good things take their time, even in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, grab your stash of potato sticks—about 150 grams—to bring that irresistible crunch. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to show off your slicing skills, peel some fresh potatoes and cut them into tiny sticks, frying them lightly for that perfect soggy-crispy harmony.
Once everything’s cooked and smelling like heaven, toss the tofu “egg” mixture into the pan with the chicken and onions, stirring gently so it all becomes one happy, golden family. Sprinkle in a handful of fresh parsley for that pop of green and maybe throw in some olives if you’re feeling fancy. This hearty dish can be paired with hearty lentil shepherd’s pie for an extra fulfilling meal.
And voilà—your Fry’s Chicken À Braz is ready to serve, guaranteed to make you rethink what vegan comfort food can be!
