60ml soy sauce | |
60ml veggie stock (or stock of choice), I used a mixture of stock and vegetarian gravy because the latter has nutritional yeast in it | |
40ml rich wine (e.g. shaoxing) | |
20ml chinese dark vinegar | |
250g weizengluten | |
100g shop-bought hummus, I think the artificial emulsifier is an important ingredient because homemade doesn’t work | |
~1tsp Liquid smoke | |
~1/2tsp Tabasco, or more to taste | |
~2tsp Black pepper | |
1tbsp molasses | |
4tsp Onion powder | |
1tsp Garlic powder | |
1tsp Paprika | |
1tsp Turmeric | |
1tsp Cumin | |
Combine all liquids and molasses together, and mix until molasses is dissolved | |
Combine with everything else. If some gluten isn’t absorbed into the mass, add more stock in small amounts until it is. You don’t need to be super precise with the stock, too little and it’ll leave extra gluten, too much and the gluten will just stop absorbing it | |
Knead well for a few minutes to make a smooth mass | |
Leave to rest for 30 minutes | |
In a saucepan with a lid, bring 2cm of water to boil | |
Cut seitan mass into 4-6 pieces | |
Place colander in saucepan and place seitan pieces in a single layer | |
Replace lid and steam for 20 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t boil too hot and that the water doesn’t run out. Do not remove lid unless adding extra water | |
Remove seitan from saucepan and leave to rest on paper towels for another 30 minutes | |
Now the seitan is ready to be baked, fried, etc in whatever sauce you like. You can also marinade it overnight. |
