Categories     Main Course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups chickpeas ((15.5 oz can) drained or white beans or 14 oz. firm pressed tofu)
1 cup not chick'n broth ((reconstituted) or other vegan chicken-style broth or veggie broth)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast ((optional))
2 tablespoons neutral-flavored oil
1 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten

Steps:

  • Add a can of drained chickpeas to a food processor or blender along with broth, nutritional yeast, oil, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  • Blend until smooth, then transfer to a glass mixing bowl.
  • Stir in 1 cup of the vital wheat gluten, then add the remaining 1/2 cup of wheat gluten and knead with your hands for about 1 minute until a firm dough is formed. *don't eat it until it has been cooked.
  • You can now cook your seitan, or for "chicken" with a stringier texture, let it rest in the fridge covered for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  • Flatten the kneaded gluten into a large circle about 1.5 inches thick and cut it into 4- 6 equal sections depending on the size "chicken" breasts that you want.
  • Form the pieces into the shape that you desire and wrap the individual "chicken breast" tightly in foil.
  • Steam the vegan chicken breasts in the foil packets for 45 minutes and remove them from the steamer with tongs. (At this point, you can eat it, slice it into chicken strips to toss into stir-fries, put it on salads, grill it, or panfry it as you would chicken breast.)
  • To panfry, sauté it in a tablespoon of oil for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vegetable broth powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup water
3 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons light oil for frying ((such as canola or vegetable))
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
1 small handful chopped green onions or chopped chives (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Add about an inch of water to a pot with a steamer basket and bring to a light boil.
  • In the meantime, whisk together the vital wheat gluten, flour, vegetable broth powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in the water and mix to form a ball of dough. Lightly grease the steamer basket, then tear off bite-sized pieces of the seitan dough and place them in a single layer in the steamer basket. Cover, and steam the seitan for 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, in a small bowl or a measuring glass, mix together the Thai sweet chili sauce, hoisin, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside. (See notes for other sauce options).
  • When the seitan is done steaming, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan. Use tongs to remove the seitan bites from the steamer basket, and place them into the hot oil in the pan. Be careful as it may splatter. Cook the seitan bites a few minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the heat and add the sauce and toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired and serve hot.
