Fried Wheat Gluten Puffs


Making Chinese wheat gluten /Mian Jin again. This time, it is more fluffy and bouncy. I have them fried in oil to make fried gluten puffs.  Boiled them in salt water to remove excess oil and at the same time to allow the gluten puffs to absorb the salt water to give the bland gluten puffs added taste. Squeeze them dry and keep in container and store in the freezer for future cooking. 

I used 300 gm flour to 150gm water. Resting dough for 6 hours.Final result 18 pieces of fried gluten puffs. I like to make things from scratch. It is challenging and I love the washing off the starch part and holding that blob of gluten in my hand. So thrilling.
