DELICIOUSLY GREASY VEGAN PEPPERONI

[@realalpha2000]

TYSM!! I swear, so many vegan pepperoni is nearly fat free,when kinda the flavor of pepperoni comes from ut beung greasy as hell

[@ilovetofu2016]

Made these and they were such a hit, my non vegan family who usually hates my food loved them too 🤣 one batch was able to make 3 small rolls that fit in my pressure cooker. I used thinly sliced pepperoni on pizza after resting it a day, and snacked on it with crackers and vegan cheese after air frying some for a few minutes. Definitely making this again, and perhaps adding a touch of anise powder next time :) thinking of trying your chicken filet recipe next!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Go glad to hear that! Happy that your family enjoyed. Excited to hear how the anise goes! I bet that would be super good.

[@genehayes]

You're definitely one of my favorite vegan creators. Thanks for the great content!!!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Aw thanks so much! Glad you like it. Really appreciate it.

[@Karen-bj7lc]

The orzo really adds to the visual appeal! Thanks for doing a test and comparison of the three different quantities of oil. Looks Yum!!!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Thanks! The oil was tough as I didn't want to add too much to hinder the gluten formation but I wanted the pep' to fry in its own oil.

[@absinthexiii4376]

I have to try this same method for a vegan Spanish chorizo! This was awesome

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

That it is a great idea! Let me know if you ever try it out.

[@djmenkiti8752]

Bruh!! Looking really good. Another seiten recipe that’ll work to my advantage. Thanks for the lesson and continue to be inspirational.

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Thanks! Will do!

[@grinninghippos1213]

I started watching you because of the ham and the "Be nice to each other" at the end of the videos 😄 Nice job!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

So glad you found the channel and glad you like my motto :)

[@MelinaBadGuy46]

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!

[@studentoferror]

I just had a really lackluster vegan pepperoni so I'm really glad you've posted this. Thank you VERY much! 😊

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy!

[@magickalalchemy]

so happy i found your channel!! this pepperoni looks delicious! is it possible to make it without a food processor or pressure cooker? i live in a tiny studio and don’t have space for many appliances, but this looks so yummy, i would love to try it out

[@durkstigmanly7607]

We made and had this on homemade pizza recently… and it was the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had! So much better than the vegan pepperoni I’ve tried from the store.

[@yagurazzrulez]

Amazing video! Would love to try making this

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Go for it!

[@paulwright717]

When I make the Gentle Chef's Grillin burgers, I like to mix the rehydrated TVP to the dry mix before mixing in the wet mix. I find it helps keep the pieces in the mix without falling out later when you're shaping. I'm sure you could do the same thing with your Orzo in this recipe!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Oh, this is a great idea. I love combining these technique ideas and will keep this in mind for future recipes. In my mind, these recipes are never "done" and love how they can be constantly improved through the community. I've never tried his grillin' burgers but you've inspired me! Now I just need to find my copy of that cookbook! Thanks Paul.

[@onexpressocafe1821]

Actually that would be a correct method as is done on some recipes where the fruit raisins are coated in flour before being mixed into the dry.

[@onexpressocafe1821]

I've done the tvp method like you.

[@davemiller3349]

Do you have a cookbook out yet???

[@Reinolds_Recipes]

Love your video, good stuff!! Will try it soon :) thank you again for sharing! Subscribed!☺️🥰

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Glad you like it. Let me know how it goes!

[@sarikarabikissoon5771]

Looks amazing. We have a vegetarian garlic polony here in SA but they do not supply regularly so this would be interesting to try out. Thanks man. It's a lot of hard work amd research that goes herein. God bless

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Thanks! Yeah - this was the result of quite a few failures. Really happy with the final product though!

[@aforty1]

This looks awesome! How come it requires so long to steam though? Normally I just steam my vegan pep for an hour without the pressure.

[@thomassmith8700]

Did you try to steam it? Wondering if it works.

[@InkCat44]

Looks incredible!!!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Thanks!! 😁

[@origamigek]

Would it be easier to use coconut oil or any oil/fat with a higher melting point?

[@TheAvalonCompany]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Do you happen to have the nutrition facts for this? Thx!!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Thanks! You know, I don't, but my guess would be that since the oil and gluten are the two major factors, that would be a good way to approximate.

[@mhherr]

Parchment paper works better than rice paper, and the foil wrap makes a good wrap to form the tubes of pepperoni.

[@ScoobySnacks7]

Is the background song "Love Eternally"??

[@shmelvinjoestar3586]

Can one replace the Kappa Carrageenan with agar agar?

[@lalagirl1971]

Is there any way to make this glutenfree?

[@chloro8306]

the business industry lmao looks great! can't wait to try it

[@nicolasgaudreault1575]

Do you need to let it reste 8hrs for both pressure cooking and steaming methods? Thanks!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

As a general rule, I almost always rest seitan no matter the cooking method. I find you get better texture.

[@miketype1each]

It looks delicious!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Thanks so much ☺️

[@joelbuchmann1738]

I missed or didn’t understand the purpose of the orzo?

[@pixelated.peachyangel]

It's to replicate the fat

[@emdeers]

Visual appeal, I believe. Similar to how meat pepperoni has white flecks in it.

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Looks like this already was answered, but yes, it is to add the visual appeal as well as more texture.

[@MiniMarilynMonroe]

Thank you

[@StephyTheGr8]

Cool! I'm going to skip the orzo chopping and use Acini de Pepe pasta instead.

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Very nice! I've heard that pasta works great too. Let us know how it goes!

[@madarch3r]

Great video! We featured your video this week on my website in our "Concessions" area! Link is in my bio!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Thanks, Madisin!

[@madarch3r]

@@BoldFlavorVegan anytime!💚

[@msblusky]

which food processor do you recommend for working with seitan

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

This is the one I use and it works really well for this recipe and has always worked well with seitan.: amzn.to/3AD1V3s (FYI, this is an affiliate link meaning that if you click through it and end up buying, Amazon will give the channel a portion of the sale. Good way to support the channel at no cost to you)

[@eskibrew]

I want to try this but I was under the impression you had to knead seitan a long time whereas you don't seem to knead it at all, am I misunderstand something?

[@sandragarcia1361]

Is it possible to sibstitute the vital wheat gluten?? Hope so...

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Unfortunately no, sorry :/

[@mandarinlearner]

Will this sorta work using less oil

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

The less oil you use the more dry the final product will be.

[@UncleLousKitchen]

ok you used MSG, now we're talking! 💪this looks insane you just got a new subscriber bro! forgive the multiple comments, it's the ADHD I type as I watch lol keep up the good work.

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Glad you found me! Just checked out your channel and love it :)

[@veganradiation]

Keep up the vegan content!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Will do!

[@niki420yuh]

Surprised beet juice wasn’t used in place of dye

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

You can use that it will just likely come out more brown than red.

[@MiniMarilynMonroe]

Yummmm

[@deidre19801]

I'm gonna get some o that!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Do it! :)

[@onexpressocafe1821]

Try making three small next time.

[@mikeskylark1594]

SO MANY STEPS😫

[@RavenRains]

this one is a nice one imo if your reading this :o

[@cynthiablack4011]

Has anybody tried making this without the methylcellulose?

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

I too am curious about this!

[@Pheexperiment]

Great question. I'm going to try. I have agar agar. Heck flaxseed if we are trying to bind it right? Wouldn't those work? I read a blog I think it was called kitchen alchemy and they said methylcellulose didn't give vegan meat a more meaty texture But great as a binder. I've seen videos of people using agar as a binder and it works perfect too. Either way I'm going to use what I have in the kitchen I am craving pepperoni lol Thank you for this video

[@assafshakked7988]

​@@PheexperimentDid you try it yet? What were the results?

[@MrRatkilr]

Looks like it's impossible to make vegan pepperoni without oil. I miss it.

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

I’ve seen recipes! Can’t vouch for them however. The goal of this recipe was to not be oil free. Unfortunately animal based pep is something like 90% fat. So it might not taste as close.

[@Theo-1984]

I was more interested in the cheese...

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

I did a melt test here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ65nGSZrrJkbNE

[@Theo-1984]

@@BoldFlavorVegan Thanks! I missed that!

[@EhsanMusic]

Good lord wtf so many Ingredients. I'd just stick with turkey pepperoni

[@realalpha2000]

Turkey isn't vegan

[@marsmotion]

50 ingredients later....yikes

[@dehilster]

Unhealthy!! :-( no oil. Oil gives me heart disease.

[@ridgleyhawthorne715]

know that with other recipes the use of vegan ingredients to create the realistic fat content in the recipes like the vegan ham & pepperoni is highly discouraged. The problem is that these recipes aren't meant to be everyday foods unless one likes the sound of their arteries snapping shut...🤣 🍕🍖(🫀💣!!!) =💀👻 So onto developing vegan meat recipes meant for responsible eating... 😋 Now, for one of my wish vegan recipes (Vegan Pork Tenderloin), I can see you (Mike) developing this recipe, using the vegan ham WTF & vegan butter steps. but then going on in also replicating the taste of pork. Now for this part, I highly suggest using the following - Shanngies has out a vegan powder called: SHANNGIES PORK BROTH FLAVORING MIX. The taste of this flavoring is absolutely the closest I have EVER found in any vegan pork flavoring. I would REALLY LOVE to see Mike tries his hand at this vegan pork tenderloin recipe & break the vegan pork tenderloin recipes code. A recipe that I have not really seen or tasted at this time... Now. I have noted that others through disinclination or inability in obtaining this brand commercially, I still would highly recommend really making the effort in getting & using this flavoring (at least east once to determine the success of making their own flavoring. (p.s. Just for the record, right now I am working on inventing my own easy to make adaptation of this vegan pork flavoring, & it is NOT easy (although I am sure will be worth every bit the effort. BTW: (Note: Be very sure before purchasing this product that its vegan (the manufacture makes both). Further, I did follow-up call Shanngies about this product. For those interested, this product can be obtained directly through the SHANNGIE company online or can be found in some Asian markets. I Know this text ran long, but still I would like to see Mike or others actually make a vegan pork tenderloin recipe that has all the components of taste, mouthfeel, and appearance of the nonvegan thing, but, of course, vegan. I believe that we all actually this close in this recipe development... JUST THINK!- Another pig saver recipe! This time a "Pig-Saver Pork Tenderloin!" 💚🐷💚🐖 SO, Thank you to all for all your patience about this long text & hope it helps others (especially the pigs! 💚🐖).

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

This is a great idea - thanks so much Ridgley for the thoughtful comment. I looked up the ingredients of that flavor mix and it looks like the only thing hard to mimic would be whatever they use for the "artificial ham flavor" everything else is pretty easy as it is essentially that, soy sauce powder, and MSG. As far as the fat content aspect, there are quite a few recipes online already for oil free vegan food for those that desire those types of recipes. My goal is to provide as realistic of an experience of those foods that they loved when they were pre-vegan, and meat is almost always very high in saturated fat, so it is a critical element. With that said, you can usually lower the oil content in seitan recipes, but if you do this, it just won't taste as good and will sometimes mess with the final texture as fat changes the way that gluten strands are formed. A vegan Pig-Saver Pork Tenderloin sounds awesome! I put it on my idea list. If you try it would love to hear about any outcomes that you found successful.
