Can you freeze nut pate's, breads, chickn fingers?

[Veronica01]

I'm just curious as I'd like to make some of these, but it is a lot of work to do for one person. And i'd rather not eat a high nut dinner every night until it's gone. So I'm wondering about the frozen shelf life of them and thought i might try some recipes and make them in bulk instead of always halfing them.

Not sure but I usually just make very small batches at a time..

I freeze nut pates all the time and bread freezes great too. I haven't ever made chickn fingers though. Sounds yummy though, where can I get the recipe??

I Freeze Everything, some things has to be eaten Frozen though.

I found this recipe yesterday and wanted to try it, but it's a lot of work for one person and wondered if i could freeze the chickn for later

sesame chicken
‘Chicken’

begin the nite before…
2 c walnuts soaked 4-6 hrs or overnite
2 c sunflower seeds soaked 4-6 hrs or overnite

1 c sunflower seeds, soaked 4-6 hrs or overnite and then dehydrated

1 c sundry tomatoes soaked 4-6 hrs or overnite in:
1 c orange juice

1 onion
2 cloves garlic
¼ yellow pepper (or red)
10 fresh sage leaves or 1 T dried herb
1 t cumin powder
½ t tumeric powder
1 t garlic powder
1 t onion powder
1 T dark miso paste
1T braggs or nama shoyu

1 T lecithin to be stirred into batter by hand at the end

sesame seeds

food processor the tomatoes in their liquid and blend until it turns into a paste.
Add onion & garlic, blend
Add herbs spices blend
Add nuts, process till smooth (I did it in 2 batches)
Put into a bowl & stir in the lecithin.
With a coffee grinder, powder the dehydrated sunflower seeds.
Stir into batter till blended.
Spoon onto teflex sheets (I used 3 trays) by the tablespoon.
Dehydrate 6-8 hr at 105-115
Flip half way through drying time.
Make sweet & sour sauce*.
Dip your chicken nuggets into the sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds and continue to dehydrate another 4-6 hrs

*sweet & sour sesame sauce

¾ c nama shoyu
¾ c honey (or agave)
2 cloves garlic
1 pc ginger as big as your thumb (equal to the amount of garlic approx)
2 T sesame seeds
2 T coconut oil
1 t sesame oil
2 t red pepper flakes

chop the garlic & ginger so it doesn’t jam under your blades, and put all into the food processor and blend till the veggies are well pureed. The seeds will float up with the oils when left standing, that’s ok, just stir when using.
i made more that this recipe called for, because i will be using this on lots more veggies the next couple of days, as it is mind blowing good.

In a glass pie plate: Take a nice head of broccoli and make bite sized pieces. Slice up 4-5 mushrooms. Sliver up ½ red pepper. Toss these in some of the sweet & sour sesame sauce and put into the dehydrator till broccoli is tendered up some.


The nuggets were a nice change form what I had been eating, but…
The veggies + sauce was the finest thing I have put in my mouth in months!
I will be making that even when I don’t have any nuggets to serve them with,
just a dash of sesame seeds on top of those sauced up veggies.

I have this recipe in the dehyd right now and it is seriously awesome! But I would like a definitive answer on whether it can be frozen. I halved the recipe and it still made a lot!

This sounds like a perfect raw pot luck dish. Mind blowingly good and makes lots. I don't have a dehydrator and my oven only goes down to 135 f. Reading this and your description, I am salivating! If you have enough extra, why not just freeze a small portion and see if it works? Sometimes freezing can change textures like when tofu is frozen it gets chewier (not that we eat tofu anymore but just an example). I could see using this, or even just the veggies and sauce, as a good dish to serve a "mixed" family (sad & raw) since it sounds like it tastes fantastic.

I made this recipe this past winter and both my husband and I loved it! It's a good one for sure! A lot of work but it's worth it. :)
