How to Make Seitan at Home Vlog!

Seitan has become my favorite meat substitute. The texture is very close to chicken or beef and its very versatile. Seitan is a popular meat substitute that you can find in stores, at restaurants, or make it from scratch. It is made from hydrating wheat gluten, to mimic the texture of various meats. You can make a batch every couple of weeks and use it for stir fry, stews, soups, sandwiches, wraps, burgers or deep fried it. You can practically substitute it for any type of meat depending on the technique and flavoring used. This is a basic seitan recipe. As you become more familiar with how easy it is to make this inexpensive meat substitute, you’ll begin to put your own spin on it!

Hi Michelle, Tthanks for this great recipe.
Quick suggestion. I know that you seasoned the setan b4 boiling it. However, I learned from my mom many moons ago that you can conside half cooking the stew before the setan finishes boiling, then let the half cooked stew cool.
You then move the setan from the boiling pot directly into the half cooked cooled stew and let it sit for about 15 mins b4 completly cooking the stew.
The reason is that the swelling is caused by expanded air pockets. Allowing the setan to cool in the flavoured stew forces flavour deep into the pieces as the air cools and the pockets collape.....yum

I'd like to make chicken flavored seitan. I saw in your recipe to substitute the chicken bouillon for the beef bouillon, but I didn't see beef bouillon listed in the recipe, only the sauted onion bouillon. I only saw beef broth listed in making the sauce for the stew you made with the seitan cubes. Do you use the chicken bouillon instead of the sauteed onions in the broth or add it to the water you use to mix the vital wheat flour when you first mix the dough?

Is there an alternative gluten-free flour

I just tried this recipe and i think i may need to redo it. Mine was spongy. What could have gone wrong?

[@myvegankitchenlife]

Maybe not enough chickpea flour 🤔
I’m not sure 🤔

[@VicousBabe]

@@myvegankitchenlife I will try that and update you when I do. Thank you so much for responding.

TFS does your seitan end up ‘spongy’? I heard if you boil it that is gets too spongy? Have you ever tried the washed flour method? I used the gluten flour and couldn’t get past the’wheat’ taste 🤢🤷🏽‍♀️

[@myvegankitchenlife]

Thanks for the comment😊
My seitan does not get soggy at all. I actually store it in the refrigerator in the broth I cook it in snd it perfectly firm snd tender a week later.
And no I have never tried the flour water method.😊

[@VicousBabe]

​@@myvegankitchenlife I must have done something wrong because mine came out more spongy 😢

[@TheShameckanelson]

Can you use spelt flour instead of gluten flour?

[@myvegankitchenlife]

Sorry Not in this recipe…gluten is what gives seitan the texture

[@daniellej7914]

Alkaline vegans use spelt flour rinse with warm and cold water until water becomes cloudy then clear
