The Quickest Easiest Seitan Recipe Vegan Chicken

EASY VEGAN SEITAN CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except the seitan powder to a food processor/blender and blend until very smooth.
• Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the seitan. Using a wooden spoon, combine everything until it comes together and forms a dough.
• Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Divide the dough into two equal pieces and add each piece to a food processor on low/medium speed for 5 minutes. The dough should be very smooth and elastic.
• Tightly wrap each piece of dough into a piece of aluminum foil (or a cheese cloth).
• Place the parcels in a steaming basket and steam for 2 hours (medium-low temperature). Check back in between to make sure there is enough water in the pot.
• Remove the dough parcels from the heat and let them cool down completely. Then you can pull apart the individual seitan strands.

THE BEST VEGAN SEITAN CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the 2 cups vital wheat gluten with the 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp chicken seasoning until they're completely combined.
• In a small bowl, whisk the 1 cup tofu, ½ cup water, 1 tbsp no chicken bouillon paste, and 1 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce until the tofu breaks down into small pieces.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and when it forms a ball.
• On a clean flat surface dusted with vital wheat gluten, knead the dough for 1 minute then roll or press into a ½ inch thick circle. The dough will keep shrinking, just continue to press it back. If the dough tears, press it back together.
• Using a sharp paring knife, cut out the chicken cutlets. You can decide on how small or large you want them to be.
• Place a steaming basket in a large pot and fill with water until the water is just below the basket. You don't want water to touch the cutlets. Bring the water to a boil.
• Spray a light coating of oil on the basket to prevent the cutlets from sticking and place the cutlets on the basket. If you need to layer the cutlets, spray a light coating of oil on the bottom layer so they don't stick together.
• Reduce the water to a simmer, cover the pot, and steam for 30 minutes.
• Remove the cutlets from the pot and refrigerate for at least an hour. This will let the seitan develop a better texture.
