Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and room temperature water using your hands or a spatula. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Place the dough in a bowl of water and let it rest for 1-2 hours.
  4. After resting, hold the dough under running water to rinse and squeeze gently to remove excess starch.
  5. Shape the washed dough into a braid or knot.
  6. In a pot, bring seasoned vegetable broth to a gentle simmer; add soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  7. Carefully place the shaped dough into the simmering broth and cook for 1 hour, flipping halfway through.
  8. Remove the vegan chicken from the broth and cool before shredding into bite-sized pieces.
