CHEESY VEGAN STICKS
Quick & easy cheesy sticks made with homemade vegan cream cheese
Cook Time 24 minutes mins
- 260 gr of a vegan cream cheese (200 gr of pre-soaked and drained cashews + 0.4 dcl of water + 1 tbsp. of lemon juice + 2 tbsp. of nutritional yeast + 1/4 tsp. of garlic powder + 1/4 tsp. of salt = blend all together in a blender until creamy consistency, then use;
- 260 gr of wheat flour + 1 tsp. of baking soda= mix together;
- 1/4 tsp. of salt;
- some oil for frying;
- some sesame seeds to sprinkle on top.
Mix together vegan cream cheese, flour with added baking soda and salt and knead it into a dough. Let it rest for 15 min. Roll it out on a working surface with a rolling pin, it should be as high as the thickness of your finger. Cut out rectangle shapes with a knife and go with your wet hand palm gently over them. Next, sprinkle them with sesame seeds and gently press them into the dough rectangles.
Warm up oil in a non-stick frying pan (oil should generously cover the whole bottom of pan), add dough rectangles, cover the pan with alu foil and fry them on a midd temperature making sure that they rise, and fry, but not burn. Fry them for 12-15 min. or until they are golden brown in colour and baked in the center. Flip them on the other side and fry them for the next 10-13 min. on a midd temperature or until they are golden brown. Serve warm or cold, both ways taste great.
