Vegan Manchurian
An Indo-Chinese staple that is so flavorful it will surely satisfy your tastebuds. Vegetable fritters simmering in an Asian infused gravy will definitely hit the spot and fulfill your cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 Can Beans
- 1 Piece Pepper
- 1 Piece Zuchinni
- 1 Cup Flour
- 3 tablespoon ginger
- 3 Cloves garlic
- 8 Oz Scallions
- 2 tablespoon vinegar
- 5 tablespoon ketchup
- 3 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoon potato starch
- water
Instructions
- Make fritters; In a big bowl, mix beans, grated zuchinni, peppers and whatever produce you have on hand. Add flour and keep on working it seasoning as you go until you have a texture of a moldable patty. Ball em up and Airfry for 20 mins at 350 degrees F. You may also pan fry them or bake but I used the Airfry method for ease.
- Make Sauce; in a pan, sauté finely sliced or julienned ginger, scallions and garlic. Sauté till aromatic. Add your liquids, ketchup, vinegar, soy and water. Adjust the taste by adding pink salt and or sweetener (agave) before thickening with slurry (potato starch/cornstarch + water).
- Assemble; Lay air fried balls onto the gravy, let simmer for a while. Let the dumplings/fritters absorb the aromatic sauce. Serve on top of brown rice or noodles or eat on its own. Garnish with sliced scallions.

Notes
There will be many variations of this. It reminds me of sweet and sour but this one is way better. More depth in flavor and heartier with the dumplings. Feel free to do variations and stay mindful as you cook. Thanks for being here. Namaste. 🙏
