When people say washing flour uses a lot of water I wish they'd realize it take almost 520 gallons for a pound of actual chicken (and that doesn't account for all the water polluted by waste run-off). Great video--much appreciated.
Yes chickens needs water to live just like humans. Water excreted by chickens is natural and is biorecycled by environment. On the other hand, the crops needs a lot of water and it is often polluted with pesticides and fertilizers.
@@heksogen4788 the chickens needs to eat crops to be able to be bred.
@@TheBoeboe at least some toxins from pesticides will be metabolized by chicken liver or kidneys before we eat it.
@@heksogen4788 the pesticides required to grow crops for animal feed far, far outweighs that of pesticides used to grow crops that will be fed to humans directly
@@heksogen4788And new toxins are added from hormonal treatments, antibiotic growth factors, and disease-ridden cage living environments are added to the finished product. The wonders of meat!
Thank you, Jess! I’m 77 and have been Arion - mostly Vegan, for close to 50 years. I just discovered your channel this morning, and I have already learned a lot, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!!!
i've only made seitan twice and the videos i watched weren't nearly as thorough and detailed as this one. thank you!
Really appreciate the detail here-mine just hasn't come out the texture I wanted and I think letting the gluten develop overnight is going to really help. Thank you!
Make sure the flour you're using is good quality with a high protein content.
Nice! I've been making basic seitan for many years and your channel has inspired me to take it up a level! You have so many cool tips!
I just made this again and I am absolutely obsessed with how easy, versatile, succulent, and delicious it is. Thank you so much for this step-by-step guide!
I would def try this recipe!!! You put a lot of work in!!! Looks amazing!!! Thank You
Amazing video, I’ve learned so much! Can’t wait to try this - thank you
Seitan has become a very amusing part of my life 😊 i am so thrilled with this 🤗🤗🤗
This really turned out good. The look of the seitan at the end made me hungry. 😋
Wow! I had no idea it could be done at home!! thank you for sharing :)
Thank you so much! Your directions are so helpful and appreciated.❤
You are so welcome!
Your technique is a little different than I've been doing, so I will definitely be following your advice. As for kneading the ball of dough, it's quite therapeutic, isn't it? It's my favourite part! Thanks! be well!
Wauw looks amazing!!! Going to try it soon ❤❤❤
Excellent video thank you so much
The best seitan recipe by far, thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! I spent a long time perfecting this, it’s one of my favorite things to make
this looks amazing!!!! just did my first take on seitan yesterday but will try this recipe next.... i actually makes me so excited
Hope you enjoy it! It’s my favorite method so far!
Wow this looks amazing
love love love your channel over the years i am 70 now have been making seitan with long kneading of dough i notice you do not with good results i need to try your way thank you
You r a true baker. I ve seen recipes where the dough is shredded in processor and this puts m off making seitan this way, WTF. Very good!
wow this is incredible!
Great video ❤
Superb amazing recipe ❤
Starch water is good for composting for those who do their own gardening.
Amazing/ Thank you.
Have you ever tried the Bob Mills Gluten Free Flour recipe for Seitan? Shaves off hours of washing(lol) I have and it’s great! I tried the washing flour method also and I was like there’s gotta be a better way…and Bob Mills packaged it! One thing about Seitan…BEFORE the slow boil… does require A LOT of kneading and seasoning and then hours of Cooking it... but it’s so worth it! Both of my sons lots bets that their pulled pork wasn’t pork and their roast beef wasn’t beef ! Lol it was flour both times! Vegan Las Vegas-Babe!
Superb amazing recipe
Incredible!!
Thank you!
This looks incredible! Those shreds at the end oh ma gaaaaawd! Btw, get yourself a mic you can clip on your shirt, it will make your voice clearer and remove background noise, a-lot of extra value to your amazing videos.
And please allow the clip to finish a sentence before you edit in a new clip. You kept cutting yourself off/talking over yourself towards the end, and it was hard to make out what you were saying.
Do you have a mic recommendation? I want to get a new one- my other one broke so I tried to wing it without it
Thank you! I'll be better about that. I'm used to editing my videos quick and snappy like for reels that I need to slow down for when I edit my audio!
This is amazing, thank you! Have you tried adding any protein powders, like pea protein? I’d like to try, but not sure where the protein would go during this process. At the beginning, maybe? Not sure, but thank you anyway!
Normally I would add protein powder to vital wheat gluten seitan- I don’t normally add it to flour washed seitan like this. You’ll notice it’s difficult to knead and incorporate things into the stiff dough.
That being said, if you took a chunk of the flour washed gluten and put it in a food processor with your protein powder you can blend it together. Then knead that into the rest of the gluten. You’ll notice the blended seitan will have a texture like taffy- you’ll need to let it rest to have the texture firm up. If you do it this way, I would add some more resting time before knotting up the seitan and frying it
thanks! also great hair
This is extremely interesting. Like this is yummy science 😅
Great video! I'm trying this process for the first time today. Should the overnight rest be at room temp or in the fridge?
Either works! If it’s warm in your house try to do it in the fridge, but I normally leave it on the counter since it my bowl doesn’t fit in the fridge
marvelous
What do we think about food processing the seitan with seasoning before cooking rather than rubbing it it ?
Do you mean adding seasoning to the bread flour before washing out the starch? Because that would wash out the seasonings. One option is to a chunk of the washed gluten and put it in a food processor with your seasonings, then kneading it with the rest of the gluten. I've found that method can make a spongier seitan, but it is more flavorful
Looks really good! I was just wondering how much saitan is made from the 5 lb bag of flour?
My yield was 3lbs and 3 ounces. Since I made this video I tried adding 2 tbs of salt to the dough ball and was able to increase my yield to 3lbs and 4 ounces!
I wonder if I can season the dough at the beginning of making the dough or if the seasonings would get washed out in the starch removal process. Have you tried it before?
The seasonings get washed out- I’ve tried it 😢
What do you use the starch water for? I’m just at the stage after kneading in seasoning and i’m not letting it rest but i’m excited for when i finally get to eat it 48 hours from now after slow cooking for 24hrs and then resting a further 24 hours 😅
You don’t need to let it rest for a full 24 hours after it’s done cooking, just check to make sure it’s firm enough. If it’s still tender, let it rest for 12 hours then cook it more to reheat it. There are some batches I ate the seitan without resting and it was good- just tender.
I use the starch water anywhere you use starch in other recipes. I add it to thicken sauces and have used it in pasta making. You can pour into onto a pan and steam them to make noodles too!
I wonder if freezing it would increase the shredded meaty texture because the ice crystals would break it as it expands + more water would be released i guess? I just know this works for tofu if you freeze it.
That makes sense- I need to try it! I froze my seitan after I breaded them last time and the tenders where very shreddy! I bet if you from the whole thing it would be very shreddy
hii, is there a way to cook it without an instant pot? like on a regular pan/pot
I would recommend a slow cooker for simmering- that way you don’t risk having the heat too high or having to watch it. That being said, you can simmer it in a large stock pot over the stove but really make sure it’s a low heat. It shouldn’t be bubbling, a very low simmer. Higher heat will lead to the seitan expanding too quickly and creates bubbles. This gives you a spongy texture rather than a shreddy texture
Yeah you managed to solve the problems with uploading. Happy me, coz I was waiting for this video since you posted on FB.
Is this to be simmered, or slow cooked in instant pot? And if slow cook, do I put the vent open, rather than sealed like with pressure cooking. The slow cook doesn't actually seal, so I'm not sure much it is actually "simmering", rather than just soaking in hot broth. Thank you! BTW I'm cooking this now, on slow cook, open vent, so hopefully this is right, or someone can advise me on this before it's too late! :)
You can use a slow cooker or instant pot. If using an instant pot, set to slow cook on low. Let it vent- hope this got to you soon enough!
What are thr recipes for the starch water please?
liangpi noodles! lots of videos will show you how
Hi! 1,5lb or 15 lb of flour? I've made it using 1,5lb and got a tiny ball as a result. How do you get that much seitan😮?
It’s meant to say one 5 pound bag of flour. Do 5 lbs next time!
What do you do with the starch???
I use it to thicken sauces and create quick cheese sauces! It's also great compost for the garden
If its difficult to flavor it, has someone tried cooking it in broth and additionally injecting it with a syringe?
The broth does a good job at flavoring it. It’s subtle, the flavor reminds me of plain chicken with a hint of garlic. Sliced thin, it’s great in a sandwich. Otherwise I pan fry it in sauce!
I don’t think injecting will make much of a difference, but I say it’s worth a try! My concern is the fibers of the seitan is very dense. That’s the reason it was tricky to knead the seasoning into the dough. A long and slow coon time works like a marinade. If you make your broth stronger like a marinade you’ll have the most flavorful result
If i dont have that pot, how can i cook it then? 😢
You can use a slow cooker or you can simmer on low on the stove. The stove is risky though because you want to slow cook it for a few hours
My first attempt wasn’t successful in texture and flavor, maybe bc i used comercial flour and just cooked seitan 1 hour in the broth cause my mom didnt let me use to much gas :(
Oh no! You for sure need to cook it for a few hours.
You can still save it though!
You can either simmer it again whole, or you can shred it up, fry it, then add it to soup!
You are so pretty!
Buonissima bravissima 😋👍👈
I ll try today seiten. Not properly
I love these recipes - too bad I avoid gluten, sigh.......
For everyone wondering why their Seitan hasnt turned meaty. 25% Nutritional Yeast, 75% Gluten.
It looks like chicken 😋
I wouldn't sall seitan a "budget" option. Lots of flour needed, lot of spices needed to give it any taste, some time needed (you could've spent it at work). Not even mentioning buying ready saitan, which is pretty expensive. Chicken in most areas is just cheaper. Seitan is more an option for health-conscious or animal-conscious.
What is that ominous buzzing noise?
Probably a fan?
Mine came out like mush 😂 not something firm you could cut into
Oh no! How long did you cook it for? It might need to simmer longer! You could always break it up, and either pan fry it, air fry it or roast it in the oven with a marinade. You can always save it!
6 dollars ? What ?
Couldn’t they thought of another name 😂 sounds like satan 🤣
It’s a Japanese word, I personally like calling it chickwheat since it’s made from wheat and tastes like chicken!
i would not ever eat that even at gun point
The problem with the bland seitan/vegan food is that it needs a lot of processing, which usually takes fat, and in the end the meal from a low caloric becomes high caloric/high fat. Or use a lot, i mean a lot of spices to give it some taste. Ive tried veganism, but it's just too much hassle and still too bland. I didnt do it for moral reasons, just was intrigued. If people can sustain this lifestyle, then kudos to them.
Anyway, this recipe makes the "meat" a little too firm imho.
I don’t get the complaint about seasoning because you usually seasons meat anyway? Chicken also tastes bland without the typical seasonings that make it ‘chicken-flavoured’. I just season the same way I used to and my food is never bland 😊
Way way way way too time-consuming
you could just buy vital gluten flour, reduces the prep time. besides, the animals probably appreciate us taking time to not eat them:)
Flour is terrible for your health long term
Wheat and flour are great sources of nutrients. If you have an allergy to it, don’t eat it! Otherwise there isn’t data that supports your claim that wheat flour has an impact of your long term health.
It can be healthy in moderation as part of a balanced diet
These stupid people saving starch water...it just makes me disgusted. Had a handful of sponge, let it sit for hours and hours, it was $15.00 of wheat flour wasted. This is a joke on the rest of us, no kidding.
$15 worth of wheat flour?! Where are you buying your flour from? It’s normally under $6 for a 5lb bag… did you try to make a triple batch with 15lbs of flour?
Is it mandatory for a vegan person to dye their hair pink/purple and tattoo themself WITHOUT being a 'weirdo' hippy?? 🤔
I’m not sure how to answer this? I’ve met looks of natural haired vegans with no tattoos. Thanks for saying I look like a weirdo hippy 😂 it’s my goal to deter the normies, especially normie men
Superb amazing recipe
