The Easiest Seitan For Beginners Recipes

THE QUICKEST & EASIEST SEITAN RECIPE!! (VEGAN CHICKEN!)

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.

THE EASIEST SEITAN FOR BEGINNERS

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined.
• Pour in the soy sauce and vegetable broth and stir. Once a dough forms and becomes firm, begin kneading it with your hands.
• Knead for 8 minutes until it feels elastic.
• Let the seitan dough rest for 5 minutes.
• (Recommended)
• Combine the water, veggie broth, onion, and garlic cloves to a large pot. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, bring to a simmer.
• Add your seitan to the pot. The broth should cover about 3/4 of the seitan. If it doesn't, add more water.
• Simmer for 30 minutes, flip, and simmer for another 30 minutes with the lid on and slightly ajar. Check in every once in awhile to make sure the water is still high enough.
• Note: SIMMERING is important. Do not let it boil!
• TEAMING (Also pretty good)
• Put it in a steamer basket and steam for about 30 minutes. If you double this recipe or your steamer basket is very small, you might have to do two batches of steaming.
• Let it cool 5-10 minutes before you open the foil.
• Once the seitan is done, use as you wish! Use it in sandwiches, stir-frys, gravies, soups, salads, and more. This seitan will keep about 10 days in an air-tight container in the fridge. *
