Seitan: The Great Vegan Protein

All hail Seitan; the great Vegan protein. First time making this and it tastes delicious, smells amazing and is super easy to make. So many options! I am definitely excited for what's in store in the future for myself & Seitan. 😂😂

Equipment that you'll need: 

• Plastic wrap 
• Medium sized pot with lid
• Large tongs for turning the Seitan as it cooks

Bowl numero 1: 

• 1 cup wheat gluten 
• 1/4 cup garbanzo flour
• 1/4 cup nooch 
• 1.5 tsp's of onion powder 
• 1.5 tsp's of garlic powder 
• 1.5 tsp's of oregano 
• 1 tsp of chilli flakes 

Bowl numero 2: 

• 3 tsp's Sriracha 
• 2 TBSP's soy sauce 
• 1/4 cup veggie broth 
• 6 ounces hot water 

With a spatula or fork, because you are pouring hot water in bowl 1, mix ingredients of bowl 2 in bowl 1. Touch the dough and if not too hot to touch, start kneading it all together. If the mixture is sticky add an additional TBSP of wheat gluten and start to knead everything all in. If it's not too sticky, don't bother with the additional TBSP of wheat gluten. 

Once kneading is complete, form the dough into a long cylinder shape, pat down lightly and roll in plastic wrap. Leave lots of space at both ends as you'll have to tie each of the ends to keep the plastic wrap secure. Also, make sure you leave approximately an inch of space at each end as it will expand. 

Bring 3 cups of veggie broth to a boil. Add the plastic wrapped Seitan to the broth, cover and simmer for approximately 55 - 60 minutes. Throughout the cooking process make sure to turn the Seitan over every 15 - 20 minutes. 

Once cooking time is done, take Seitan out of the broth and put on cooling rack. Let it cool for approximately 15 minutes before removing the plastic wrap; then slice away!! 

Enjoy!!
