  • This is not chicken. It's wheat gluten that happens to look exactly like chicken and is actually a very old recipe for making a meat substitute from flour. So let's do this! #2ingredientfakechicken

      Seitan is a very recent name for a very old food (it was eaten at least a thousand years before the word seitan began being used in the 1960s). The people discovering it now and coining a new name for it aren't really any different from the people who called it seitan.

    I boil mine instead of frying it so it gets more of a spongy texture. Then I

    One of the things that appeals to me most about this recipe, which doesn’t look all that difficult even for a non-cook like me, is that it provides a meat-like, moderate protein meal using shelf stable ingredients that you can always have on hand.
    It occurs to me even if you use non-vegan ingredients like real meat bouillon to make it more tasty, you’re still reducing the meat in that meal by like 99%, which is a great option if you’re trying to reduce the impact on the environment.

Both are great, I love how plant based alternatives are catching traction because I remember a time the best thing I could get my hands on was boca "chicken" patties.

    If you brew beer or makgeolli, you can make good use of the starch you take out. I do some brewing so, it works for me, otherwise, I couldn't waste the starch, ( I'm not sure, but I think you can let the starch settle and pour most of the water off and use it for other reasons ) it's also ok if you have livestock to feed the starch to.

    I’ve been depressed but the way you think about food and cooking is very similar to me and you have inspired me to cook again 🥰

    I just learned about seitan today in school! I study Food Innovation and I love how much food experiments you do, stuff that I also learn about in uni. I love unusual food science!

    Once my friend ordered a seitan burger and the "seitan" was the same texture as a stale slice of toast. It reminded me of your toast sandwich recipe!

    Hi Emmy! I've been experimenting with many different seitan recipes/techniques but haven't seen this one before. I'm going to give it a try today! Thank you so much!

    Because of you, I will be making a lot of it and thank you for showing me this best way of making that chicken.

    Maggi seasoning for umami and some chik’un broth. Also msg would help. It’s a blank canvas. Gotta dress it up to the flavor profile you want. I’ve made seitan multiple times; beef, turkey, it’s fun! In the long run (like your tofu video) it’s labor intensive, and usually easier to buy a pre-made product. Side note: I’m not a vegetarian, just live with two and am always experimenting with what can be done to tofu and wheat gluten to jazz it up.

    You can even use the wheat starch water to make cold glass noodles, that way there is no waste to be found ✌️🌱

    I tried this a few weeks ago and I looove the versalitity and flexibility! It's delicious! The recipe I used was also quite a bit different, but it came out great, so I'm guessing it's not a very fussy meal to make, just need to develop the gluten.

    Why does everyone else's seitam literally looks appetizing? When i make it, it becomes like just an undescribable lump that's kinda Seitan but not.

      Maybe you need to wash it more? Underrinsing seems to be a very common reason why seitan fails

    The left water is used to make rice paper, so it really is an useful recipe!

    As soon as I saw someone making a vegan rib dinner using this method of washing the dough I knew you had to cover it in a video! You did a great job showcasing it here!

    I think trying a chickenless bouillon cube in this recipe instead of vegetable broth would make it better. A beefless bouillon cube would maybe be interesting to try also.

    For the seasoning, my mom adds chicken spice and it tastes sooooo good

    This turned out really well. I”m new to the seitan game and tried a recipe from another channel but it was nasty. A combo of vital wheat gluten and silken tofu. I threw it out but wanted to try again and stumbled across this channel. I used regular all purpose flour and followed Emmy’s instructions to the letter. My finished product looks just like Emmy’s and it actually tastes really good. A great base recipe to go forth into the world of vegan meat!! Thanks Emmy!
