I like to veganize recipes. If a savory recipe calls for oil, I probably subbed water and just didn't edit the recipe yet

4 oz/115 grams well-pressed and blotted extra-firm tofu

3 tablespoons tamari, soy sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos

2 tablespoons mild vegetable oil

1 tablespoon onion powder

1½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or 1 teaspoon sweet paprika and 1 teaspoon liquid smoke)

¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¾ teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon commercial poultry seasoning

⅛ teaspoon FD&C red food color*

270 ml/grams water (1 cup plus 2 tablespoons)

150 grams (1 cup, scoop and level) vital wheat gluten

*FD&C red food color is an artificial food color. It is not animal sourced. It is used in a scant amount to create the nitrate-pink hot dog coloration since natural red food color pigments degrade during the cooking preparation process (I have experimented a great deal with natural red pigments over the years, and they won’t work for this purpose). Additional paprika (up to 1 teaspoon) can be used to enhance color, if preferred, but will create an orange pigment rather than pink. Red food color can be ordered online or found in the baking section of any supermarket.: subheading: *FD&C red food color is an artificial food color. It is not animal sourced.
