I must admit that I'm NOT a knödel fan but I make them for someone else at least once or twice a year.
If you like German semmelknödel, this is a good vegan alternative recipe for that.
And my friends really like them!
I simplified my usual semmelknödel recipe the best I can do to reduce the stress of making them.
Ingredients for 3 main dish servings(or 6 side dish portion)
4 German white bread rolls (brötchen) or 250g bread
350 ml soy milk
★2 tbsp vegan onion soup powder (knorr's soup)
★30 g chopped frozen or fresh parsley
★3 tbsp oatmeal (instant or rolled oats )
★2tbsp cornstarch
★A pinch of pepper and nutmeg
(for boiling dumplings)
1000ml water
1 vegan cube stock
+Sauce or soup of your choice.
Step1
Tear the bread rolls into smaller pieces with your hands.
Warm soy milk up to 80℃ in a big pot.
Step2
Add all the ★ingredients and bread in the warm soy milk and let the bread soften while you create a sauce ,dip or soup to serve with.

Step3
If the bread is softened and becomes doughy ,divide it into 6 ball shaped dumplings.

Step4
Cook about 1000ml of vegan broth in a big pot.
Boil the dumplings in it for 15 minutes.

Semmelknödel is done.
Serve it with some sauce of your choice.
At an event I served this semmelknödel with a lot of different side dishes.
It goes well with this buttery garlic tomato as well.
