Soak 60g chickpeas in cold water overnight.

Drain and add 150g water, then keep stirring and cook until mushy, about 20-30 minutes.

Let it cool down.

Add 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast and ½ teaspoon salt to the mushy chickpeas.

Mix in 130g wheat gluten flour and 70g all-purpose flour, adding ½ cup water gradually while beating the dough to increase flexibility.

Beat the dough with a wooden stick to stretch out the fascia.

In a pot, add 750ml water and cook on low heat for 1 hour, ensuring the water doesn't boil to avoid spoiling the texture of the steaks.

Let the cooked mixture cool down.

Prepare a sauce by mixing 1 teaspoon syrup, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.

Brush the sauce on the steaks and fry in cooking oil over medium-low heat, brushing the sauce repeatedly until browned on both sides.
