vital wheat gluten

🥗Healthier: chickpea flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Chickpea flour is a gluten-free option that adds protein.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: coconut aminos

Tamari is gluten-free, while coconut aminos are lower in sodium.

nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: parmesan cheese

Parmesan adds a similar umami flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

Start by boiling water in a pot and place a steamer basket inside.

Combine vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, ground sage, and black garlic in a mixing bowl.

Chop dried apples into small pieces and add them to the dry mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix maple syrup and liquid aminos as the wet ingredients.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes elastic and well combined.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into sausage logs.

Wrap each sausage tightly in foil, twisting the ends to seal them.

Place the wrapped sausages in the steamer basket and steam for about 30 minutes.

Remove the sausages from the steamer and let them cool for a few minutes before unwrapping.
