    Btw- the last time time I created this recipe, I used vegetable shortening to “fry” the Seitan and it worked wonderfully. I recommend it.

    I just love your style of vegan meat. It simple and yummy and the texture is always on point. I knew when you went back to work you would use more vital wheat gluten rather than the wtf method. Though I think the wtf method gives a better flavor at the end.

      Thank you! Yes, if I had more time, I would wash the flour more often. Maybe I’m used to it now, but the gluten taste isn’t so prominent to me anymore. Adding the white wine vinegar really helps with masking it. Also, I only use Anthony’s vital wheat gluten flour. It has the best taste in my opinion.

    Hello, ive tried to use vwg a couple times with a couple different brands. I follow the instructions but my dough never looks smooth, its always very rough and textured looking balls. I feel like something is going wrong. I couldnt even really knot it more than once without it tearing apart. I threw it into the broth anyways because i dunno what else to do. Hopefully it results in an edible product. Hate to easte so much vwg and beans, etc.

    • @yessicainfante831
      @yessicainfante831  8 місяців тому

      I use Anthony’s vital wheat gluten flour. Are you allowing to rest before knotting?

    • @yessicainfante831
      @yessicainfante831  Рік тому

      With my busy schedule, I don’t have time for the WTF method anymore. Anthony’s vital wheat gluten flour is my favorite to use now. All other VWG flour have a stronger gluten taste.

      Oh, that's a sad translation! Carnitas is waaayyy more delicious than pulled pork! In my meat-eating days, carnitas was one of my favorite foods. Crispy, fatty, well-seasoned deliciousness. I've been vegan for about 5 years and I've never tried to veganize carnitas. Thank you, Yessica! Yes, this is me I hope you give these vegan carnitas a try!

    If I wanted to do a roast pork could i bake in the oven, or do I have to boil the seitan.

      You can definitely roast it. Check out my seitan roast video for details on how I cooked it.

    Hey, love your content, you've really helped me get better at making seitan. Wondering if I can get some advice tho: sometimes the dough is perfect but other times when i try and knot it just pulls apart. Any idea where I'm going wrong? Not kneading it enough or kneading too much maybe? I always make sure to let them rest for at least an hour.

    I see that this recipe makes for 6 servings. Before slow cooking could I freeze these or should I freeze after slow cooking and shredding ? Also how long would these last in the fridge and or freezer ? 🤔 Thanks fit the recipe 😋

    • @yessicainfante831
      @yessicainfante831  Рік тому

      I cook for a family of five and this is good for about 4 meals. It’s a lot! Yes, definitely freeze it after it’s cooked and shredded. I’ve kept it in my freezer for about 2 months and it’s been fine. You’re welcome!

  • @hollywebster6844
    @hollywebster6844 Рік тому +1

    Does the "ham" broth powder give a porky taste without a lot of smoke flavor? I have seen the Orrington vegan ham powder, but I have never tried it.
    PS: What time should I be there for dinner? 😉

    Made this recipe today and it tasted great! But had trouble knotting the seitan 🫣 I think it was too wet.

    • @yessicainfante831
      @yessicainfante831  Рік тому

      Thanks, did you allow it to rest?

    • @jcburnett5091
      @jcburnett5091 Рік тому

      @Yessica Infante Yes. But when I went to knot it, I could only get 1 to 2 knots max because it would start to tare. And then they came undone while slow cooking 🤔 I think it's just going to take some practice 🙃
