Instructions

Cook the rice according to directions, making sure you have 1 1/2 cups when finished. Use your choice of water or vegan veggie broth. It's good either way.

Rehydrate the TVP. Bring 1 cup water or vegetable broth to a boil and pour over the TVP. Stir and fluff with a fork.
-
Place all the ingredients except the rice paper wrappers into a large food processor. Pulse and blend until well mixed and sticking together. It should be chopped up fine but not too mushy.
-
Let the mix sit for a few hours or overnight in the fridge if possible.

Form into hotdogs.
-
For a casing, if desired, run a rice paper wrapper under hot water. Then place the brat in it towards the top and wrap. Either wrap and fold in the ends or twist and cut off the ends.

Fry the brats in a little oil or bake on parchment for about 20-25 minutes at 350 F.

Use and embellish like any other brat.
