Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 0.75 cup water
- 0.25 cup aquafaba (chickpea brine)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 8 ounces Vegan shrimp (or plant-based shrimp alternative)
- 4 tablespoons scallions, chopped
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 0.5 cup carrots, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, water, aquafaba, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, baking powder, and soy sauce. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Step 2
Fold in the vegan shrimp, scallions, bean sprouts, carrots, cilantro, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 4
Pour about 1/4 cup of the mixture into the skillet to form a patty. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the patty is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5
Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped scallions and cilantro, if desired.
