Notes

  1. These can be air-fried after steaming if desired.  Cook for 5 to 6 minutes in a 380F air fryer. Turn halfway through the cooking time.  If you want more color, spritz them with olive oil spray before putting them into the air fryer. 
  2. If you cannot find vegan buffalo sauce, make your own by combining 1 cup of hot sauce with ½ cup of melted vegan butter.  Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar or vegan Worcestershire sauce if needed.
  3. Make in larger batches, form into wing shapes, and them steam.  Let them cool completely before wrapping and freezing for up to 3 months.  Just thaw and fry when ready to serve.
