CHICKENY CHICKLESS SEITAN RECIPE: mtk.fyi/ChickenyChicklessSeit...
OYSTER MUSHROOM OVEN DRYING DIRECTIONS (temporarily here b/c my website is having issues atm)
The seitan recipe uses up the equivalent of 1/4 lb fresh oyster mushrooms but I recommend preparing at least 1 lb at a time to make the effort worth it! Plus, it makes a great gift for fellow home cooks!
1. Clean off any substrate clinging on to your fresh, plump oyster mushrooms. Discard any slimy, wilty or discolour mushrooms.
2. Arrange mushrooms on a couple of nonstick baking sheets.
3. Set to dry in your oven set to the lowest possible setting. Mine goes to 170°F. Bake the trays of mushrooms immediately; there's no need to preheat. I also crack the oven door open with a wooden spoon (careful not to touch the heating element!) because my oven is very well sealed and keeps moisture in. Especially with older ovens, you might not have to do that.
After one hour, check and see if they totally dried. If not, flip them and continue baking. Depending on how much moisture your mushrooms had, the humidity, etc the time needed can vary.
You may also find some pieces of mushroom crisp up faster (like the smaller thinner pieces). Just remove them as you go.

I like how you explained why you put the beans, vinegar, n other ingredients in!
Glad you liked it! I try to include those details as I just know people will eventually try substitutes and make the recipe their own. Which is totally cool but it really helps when you know the function of each ingredient first. Thanks so much for watching!
@@marystestkitchen Very thoughtful and empathetic. Thank you for doing that!
Wouldn't be surprised if this one blows up like the fried chicken video did. This is gold. I never knew you could achieve texture like that with seitan
Thanks so much! It's really a must-try!
Me neither!
MARY I LOVE YOU. This looks INCREDIBLE and also so much work ahhaha. You are truly one of the OGs, your recipe development skills and food science know-how is really limitless.
love you too, Lisa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love that there’s a good amount of coconut oil in this recipe! I’ve always wondered why other seitan recipes so rarely add fat, it’s one of the key components of the foods we’re trying to replicate!
I greatly appreciate all the hard work you go through to produce this high level content and save us a lot of time experimenting. Thank you so so much!
Indeed!!! Me too!
Mary! I had a dream about you this morning: You were delightfully voicing over a new video, and I awoke hoping that you and yours were well and that you'd return to YT, because you are missed. So I was overjoyed to see this post in my subs! This recipe has my weekend cooking set! ThanksForPosting : )
awww
I learned recently that resting the dough is essential, and using a mixer to knead makes so much better seitan. I just thought the mixer was more convenient. As a person who fears tough seitan I always add an acid like you do in pie crust. To help stop the bouncing mixer try sitting it on non skid shelf liner.
Yes, I agree on all points!!
This is the best seitan I’ve ever made. None of the wheaty taste that you often get.
LOVE TO HEAR IT!
You are a Michelin level chef because you really do an unbelievable job and of such quality 👏👏👏
Always love your videos, thanks for doing what you do for us Mary :)
Great to see you back Mary. I like the way you describe the reasons and mechanics of this, so we can adapt to what we have available, so helpful. Looks amazing!
this is IT!! I trust you so much as a chef that I genuinely believe this is the best seitan recipe ever developed. I can't wait to try it :)
Wow! Amazing 🤩. It looks so beautiful and perfect. I will try to make it and hope it comes out the same way as yours. Thank you so much for sharing your cooking skills with us ❤️
OMG you're so creative and amazing!!!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you Mary! I just read about why you are a vegan on your website. It was beautifully written and I am so proud of you for watching that movie and making a positive change, in spite of overwhelming odds that it might make a difference. Here you are, making a difference in your own life, leading by example, and sharing what you learned so others can also benefit in health-especially animals. You make me proud to be a human-we can change and we are worthy of eating like we care about ourselves, our animal companions, and the gorgeous Earth. We might even get to live longer and enjoy the best things in life, all the while making things better for future generations of humans and animals. Why not, what else are we here for if not to love better?
Mary - you are awesome!! Thank you for this great video - and oyster mushroom tip!!
I am amazed by how you reached such a result and even thought of it, just wow 😮 Impressive! And you share it with us for free, I can't thank you enough 🙏❤
It's fantastic to see another seitan chef with chronic pain issues, thank you so much for this recipe I can't wait to try it!
Looks amazing! Can't wait to try this recipe!
Thank you for making and showing this! This is what my family has been waiting for!
You're very welcome. I hope you all enjoy it!
I am so happy to see you back!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for a beautifully detailed recipe.
Wow this looks incredible! I love your recipes & am so happy to see your videos again! 😊👍🤩
Thank you so much 🤗
Excellent video, Mary! Boy, that texture looks spot on! Can’t wait to give it a try!
I can't wait to hear how you like it! 😊 Please enjoy
Wow, wow, and Wow!! That looks totally amazing!! I cannot wait to try this. Thanks SO much!!
You are so welcome!
Glad you're back Mary! You're one of my favorite youtubers and I'm always excited to see what you come up with. :)
Thank you so much, Alex!
WOW...this is amazing. YOU, Mary, are amazing. Thank you for the research that you have done on this. Can't wait to try it!!
You are so welcome!
Mary! I’ve been looking for a recipe like this. Thank you!
You will love it! Please enjoy :-)
Ahhh it looks so good! Great video Mary!!!!!
Can’t wait to make that seitan!
It's so good! I think you're going to love it! :-)
Mary, you're the best!
The way I have all these ingredients.
Thank you Mary! ❤️
Perfect! 🎉🎉🎉
You are one of the most creative food creators in UA-cam! Also your explanation is easy to understand for beginners like me :D
😊🙏
Instant sub with measuring everything to the gram with the food scale
This looks delicious and I 💕 love LOVE the added nutritional value from the beans and the mushrooms ! Very nice indeed!
Thank you so much 😊
I have chronic pain too, but what I find works really well for me is putting the raw just formed dough (I just combine it with chopsticks) in the refrigerator overnight. The next day it is taffy like and I didn't need to knead a thing ! Then I stretch and knot it before cooking
That sounds like a great idea! Gluten formation is a factor of moisture, agitation, and time. If you don't want to knead, drastically increasing the time will do it for you
Oh wow. This looks amazing. I am going to stick to my plan to make the sandwich seitan first. Once I find some good oyster mushrooms I will try this recipe and will let you know how it works out. Again thank you.
Thank you so much! I hope you have fun with your sandwich seitan too :-)
Oh Mary this is dreamy, thank you so much for your efforts! Last week I ate a reaaallly good seitan bourguignon at a small restaurant in Paris that I wish i could recreate, and your seitan looks like it could do the job! I can't wait to try it!
I bet you're right! 💖
This looks absolutely amazing! I've never put so much work into seitan but have been meaning to try making a "chicken" texture like this. Going to try this over the break when I have time!!
Wow! Great recipe, thanks for all your work and for sharing!
My pleasure 😊
So glad to see you back! First off you've got so many new toys! The mixer is commercial grade very nice! I thought I couldn't cook seitan in the instantpot because it was supposed to be simmered at a low temp for a long time but you did it! I don't have a mixer at the moment so I can't make this as I get pain in my wrists. Love this evolving video style you've got going. Keep em coming!
Thank you! It's great to be back. But I guess so long you haven't seen these toys in a while. I've had the cosori for years now. And the stand mixer for I think two years. It's not commercial grade though it is a lift Bowl KitchenAid. And I have to say one of the best investments I've made. I use it all the time now!
you are so amazing!!!! thank you for this recipe -- it looks AMAZING!!! - and your video tutorials are so great!!
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! 🤗
Love your videos and recipes ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!
That looks SOOO GOOOD!!!! I think it would be perfect for my mom’s chicken ala king that we all miss!! Or a really decadent chicken salad sandwich with grapes and herbs!! YUM!! Or maybe thinly sliced and seasoned up nicely on a sub sandwich!
I’ve also been missing Mongolian beef, now I never had Mongolian chicken, but I know it exists, I would LOVE to see that recipe!! Or the beef!!
Yes! I bet it would be great in those dishes!
Absolutely a delicious recipe very well explianed
Wow that texture… can’t stop thinking about it!
It's so good!
Instead of MSG, I use Korean Mushroom Powder (the kind w/only mushrooms & salt). Amazing stuff.
May I ask which brand? Love this rec!
Which brand?
I have some! it's so good!
Theres literally nothing wrong w msg though please spend a few minutes researching
So, what I'm getting is that I need a stand-mixer in my life. XD ... Your chickenless seitan looks so perfect for soooo many things! The possibilities have made me hungry, lol.
So nice to see you in my notices! Hope life has been well, and hope you had a wonderful weekend. Tyfs!!
Yah...kinda! I've had mine for a while now and only wish I had gotten it sooner! If you also like to bake, it's really really such a wonderful help
Thanks so much for the kind words. I had a great weekend! Hope you did too!
Gratitude 🙏🏾 been looking for ideas to use this oyster mushroom powder.
You are so welcome!
The most genius vegan recipes right here. Amazing. ❤️
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you Mary!
Thank you so much for the grams! I've not had much success with Seitan in the past using cups for the VWG, as the quantity can vary so much and I was never sure what was the "right" consistency. Happy days!
Mary, you out did yourself again. Bravo.
Aw thank you so much 🤗
I'm in awe 😮
😊
Mary welcome! This looks so. Good!
Thank you 😋
What fabulous timing! I just learned of a simple tortilla soup recipe that calls for chicken, and I was about to go in search of a vegan alternative. This looks like it will be perfect! Thank you!
Yay yes it will! Please enjoy 😊
Fantastic recipe 👌 😋 👏. Will give 😋 it a try.
Love your recipes so much. The waiting is always worth it. #seitanqueen. 💕
Yay! Thank you!
I want to make chicken lemon rice soup and this recipe looks like it will work great!!! Thank you!
Made some mistakes on my first try but still the best texture of seitan I've ever made! Thank you Mary!
awesome!!! Love that for you!!!
Another great recipe 😍🤩❤
Mary, you are a treasure 💯❤‼️
And you are very kind! :-) Thank you so much for the encouraging comment
@@marystestkitchen You're so welcome 💖💖💖
I've been homing in on truly good seitan and this looks really promising, Mary. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it!
Hurray! So thankful you are feeling strong enough to cook and film! I hope Caturday will also return! 🐱
I can't wait to make this!
I can't wait to hear how it goes!
Mary I am going to try this for sure 😊
Please do!
Wow Mary this is quite the revision/upgrade. I use Lacy’s recipe often so I’m really looking forward to trying this! Great post!
What to do with it? Chicken tacos!
Yum! Perfect!
I swear, you single-handedly pushed the vegan youtube scene decades into the future with both your original vegan chicken recipe and now THIS.
Ooo, can't wait to try this out!
Have fun!
WOW!!!!!!! And thank you very much!👍👍👍👍👍
You're very welcome 😊
Don't know if i'll ever find the time to try this whole process but this is the most detailed seitan-explanation i've ever watched. I've already tried a few seitan recipes but they came out bad to moderate. I never understood, what i did wrong. This video is really demystefying the concept of making seitan for me. Let's see, if i can do it better next time 😁
can't wait to try this! 😻
I can't wait to hear how it goes for you! 😊
Love your videos!! And seriously, someone should hire you for reading audio books. Your voice is perfect for it.
Maybe one day!
i love your videos ! 👍
Glad you like them!
@@marystestkitchen omg !
Yay!! A new video! This looks sooo good. Definitely going to try.
Do you think I could use dried porcini or shiitake mushrooms instead?
Not shiitake; much too strong a flavour. Tbh I haven't had porcini in so long, Im not sure 🤷♀️
Hope you enjoy!
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
I knew the trick to seitan was longer kneading. I learned cooking mine in instant pot 1hr eliminates the wheaty taste. I always use Anthony’s and love it.
THANKS Mary!!!!!
You're most welcome!
Gotta try this! 👍
You sure do, Gary 😁❤️🙏
This looks truly amazing. Your videos are the best! I’m super nervous to try it though as I’ve had horrible luck with seitan. It always turns out with this gooey texture for me even when I follow all the instructions to the letter. Hopefully I’ll have better luck with this. Even if I don’t, kudos to you for coming up with this!
Gooey often means it's not thoroughly cooked. So with this method of using a pressure cooker, you're almost guaranteed that cannot happen 😁
@@marystestkitchen good to know, I hope it works! I just picked up a cheap pressure cooker on marketplace, just to try this out. See how you’re altering the course of peoples lives?? LOL
New to the channel I enjoy your videos thanks
Maryyyy!!!!🤗 great recipe as always,just better each time.With the 2nd batch I would use a meat slicer and make tons of cold cuts for sandwiches 🥪 😋 😀
Ugh I want to get one for deli slices BUT I'm afraid I'm gonna damage my fingertips
@@marystestkitchen oh ok, in that case we'll just skip the slicer!😅
@@MsAure lol
Thanks for the oyster mushroom tip. I will do this next time I go to the Asian store. I buy them forget and they go bad. I will do this and can use them.
Yeah! Good idea
Thank you for the recipe Mary!😍 I am going to try this soon.. We have a smoker so, I think I am going to try to smoke it.. maybe that will add some more flavor! That might be good with the sandwich or something... 🤔
wow NICE! I bet that would be SO GOOD 💖
Yum 💕
Thank You Mary for this recipe, video and all Your work! I could not get my dough to be as shiny and stretchy as Yours, but I think it worked just as well and the seitan came out just as good. However, I have to tell you that if You have any joint's pain, then gluten-free diet would probably be very beneficial to You.
Ah I posted this years ago. Back then, I suffered from chronic tendonitis. These days, I maintain a plant-based keto diet which has eliminated all symptoms. And I still have gluten frequently in my diet 😊
An interesting thing to try is: Instead of going with Oister Mushroom powder, trying to powderise Chicken of the Woods.
Alltho at this point one could just use straight up Chicken of the Woods instead. (It is a mushroom that tastes like chicken)
man this all looks amazing!! i wanna taste yours!
Thanks!
Loved your video! I am new to your channel and am excited to try your recipe here. My attempts at Seitan so far have been kind of "meh" for the amount of work. However due to mixed reviews of using gluten as opposed to the washing method, I have not tried that. YOU have convinced me! I am super excited, thank you very much!! 👍😉
In this case, the machines do the work and we just supervise ;-)
ha, well I went last week to Bulk Barn and asked for VWG and the young lady said no we don't have that. So I ordered it online instead. Just looked it up under gluten flour and yup my store has it. Good to know! Thanks Mary! Hugs from Ontario, Canada
Glad you found it! :-)
Oh, beans. That's what i mixed mine with years ago and it worked out well.
Beans are just great :-)
The best vegan channel.
aw you are too kind!
YUM!! I loved your last chikwheat recipe, but this looks EPIC!!!
Can I use asian mushroom seasoning, instead of MSG?? I just it all the time, and just love it ❤️Cheers!
I tried it today. Awesome!
YAY!!
@@marystestkitchen I made Chikeny cickless seitan four times now, but I was frustrated by the long kneading times...
Today I tried an alternative kneading method. I just mixed wet and dry parts with a spoon. Then I divided the dough in four batches, and processed each one separately in my high speed blender (1 min for each batch). I got the same exact result (a smooth and stretchable dough) I previously obtained with 40 minutes kneading in my kneading machine. Highly recommended
@@federicasgorbissa5092 YAY! YAY!
Seitán Makhani sounds divine right now...
it's always a good time 🤗
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
I really wish I lived with Simon who enjoyed cooking regularly and testing new recipes
hehe become the change you want to see in the world ;-)
Wow really nice! 😍😋👌
Thank you 😋
Dried puff balls have the most amazing umame flavor
Yay, new seitan recipe. I absolutely love your seitan recipes. I made them when the craving for meat hits & when entertaining before the pandemic. Because they taste so good, no one complains that “meat” tastes funny. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Question: if i were to knead by hand, it simply need to come together & got smooth right?
Well....smooth and taffy like. When you're kneading seitan, at first it becomes tougher and tougher. You can even make it smooth. But then, it is not stretchy and loose like you see in the video. Then you would let it rest for a while. Then keep kneading. You would repeat this process until you can take a 1 inch piece of dough and stretch it at least 4 inches.
@@marystestkitchen cool, i’ll try it.
@@ima7333 Good luck! I must warn you that even when I was more able-bodied, I could not knead that long. It's quite tough.
@@marystestkitchen it’s ok. When i got tired, i’ll rest along w/ the dough. I’m used to hand kneading my noodles too. Before going plant based i used to make my own egg noodle. That’s also low hydration dough. These days i knead my own ramen noodle.

Yay Wheel of Time ❤❤❤
In case you are interested, Pistol River Mushrooms in Oregon sell dried Oyster mushrooms which makes life so much easier. I bought a pound of them after watching this. They last forever in the freezer and are so much cheaper in bulk from Pistol River! 1 pound for $30 which is easily 8 pounds of fresh. Oyster Mushrooms are not that easy to find in my stores so this is the next best thing. Or first best if you are lazy like me! 🙂
Wow that's amazing! I wish I had a source like that here in Alberta. Thanks for sharing - hopefully it will help someone out there 🤗
This looks so delicious! I'm crying in gluten intolerance right now 😭 vital wheat gluten seems like such a magic thing in vegan cuisine
Mary this looks so good!! Unfortunately I'm a broke and busy college student without the time nor the tools to make this but i look forward to it in the future :)
Thank you! I have been there and know what it's like to have to wait. Coming up there will be many more recipes where you will not need any special equipment ❤️
@@marystestkitchen looking forward to it!!
