Vegan Seitan Recipe
The best plant-based meat alternative!
Ingredients
How to Make Seitan
- 7 cups White flour
- 2¼ cups Water
Spices:
- 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 1 tbsp Poultry seasoning
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- ½ tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and the water together. Then knead until you are able to form a smooth-ish ball. Cover with a clean cloth or foil to rest for an hour.
- Now rinse. Add water to the bowl with the ball, and knead in the water. Then transfer to a colander, rinse and repeat, until the water runs clear. The idea here is to get rid of all the starch and only have the gluten protein remaining for a hearty chicken texture. This rinsing sequence took me around 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a clean dish. Add your spice mix. Knead it into the dough, then break into small “chicken sized” pieces. Cover and allow to rest for one more hour.
- Simmer covered in 3 cups of vegan chicken broth until absorbed. Then pan fry until crispy and enjoy!
