Thank you so much 😊

@@yessicainfante831 Hi Yessica, this is a very nice basic recipe with ingredients that are easily available.. Thank you. I add shredded jack fruit to my seitan ribs. I grow jackfruit but I have also used to the jackfruit canned in brine. I remove the seed pods and the hard bits. I also like adding some grounded shitake mushroom oowder and jerk seasoning. Makes the texture and flavor of the seitan like ribs ( or what I remember they are like. I haven’t eaten meat in 49 years😉) Thank you again for the nice recipe.

[@sogehtvegan3540]

I am think too ....great channel💚

Also try mixing in strips of pre-soaked rice paper to your dough just before you are finish kneading it. it will give it a more meat-like texture mimicking fat or sinew.

Has anyone tried to cook this on a BBQ With a smoker box to give it smoked flavour? The liquid is important and can be added to BBQ as well I'm sure. I may try this smoked. Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful recipes.

That's a great idea! Let me know how it turns out 😋

[@2americangirl]

Absolutely I will...

[@keeweefabulous7094]

How did it go?

[@davemiller3349]

Hello! I actually tried smoking these on my stovetop smoker. I seared them first and then gave them 20 minutes in the smoker before steaming. They smelled really good but the smoke definitely overpowered the whole dish and left a very strong lingering taste in my mouth for hours.. dough is porous, not dense like meat so I guess it just soaked in all that smoke like a sponge. Needless to say, I ended up throwing it away, it was just too smoky and bitter. All my hard work 😭😭😭 So I would say pass on the smoker and maybe just add a couple tablespoons of liquid smoke to your steam liquid to give it a subtle smoky profile.. hope this saves you from wasted product!

[@2americangirl]

Thank you so much for the update and your review...I can see how it may absorb lots of flavors

[@tamarahill-henderson8229]

What is Setian ? And what receipts you can make with it, does it taste good?

[@yessicainfante831]

Seitan is the gluten/protein that is separated from dough. You do this by washing the starch out of the dough. You then season the dough and cook it. It’s very tasty!

[@sfr2107]

They look so good. Could you skip the oil frying and roast them to cook thr rice paper skins, before adding the sauce?

[@yessicainfante831]

Thank you, I haven’t done it that way, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. You might have to rehydrate while it’s roasting so it doesn’t get too crispy.

[@MJ-ib7iq]

Thank you for the video. What have you found is the ideal gluten to liquid ratio? I would like to make a small batch with different seasoning. And how do you known when it’s fully cooked?

[@yessicainfante831]

I normally use 2 1/2 cups of VWG to 1 to 1 1/4 cups of water/liquid. It takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours to cook depending of the size of dough ball. Smaller pieces take 40 minutes to 1 hour to cook.

[@hanaeg1210]

Why you are using nutritional yeast?? Is for taste or smell or texture??

[@elisekate1754]

Is the beetroot just for colour? It's the only thing I don't have

[@yessicainfante831]

You can omit it and it will be fine.

[@DK-qj7cr]

TFS were you able to eliminate that ‘off’ taste that vital wheat gluten gives off? How would you make this with your washed flour recipe?🧐🤔

[@yessicainfante831]

I honestly think it’s all the seasonings I use that mask the gluten flavor. I had my omnivore brother try it and he said he didn’t taste the gluten flavor at all. I do plant to make a WTF version of this soon 😉

[@daksmom1999]

D K, if you’re using Bob’s Red Mill brand, that’s why you get that strong wheat taste. That brand had a huge amount of protein, I think, but someone in a seitan group I’m. In wrote that the amt of protein has been reduced. Therefore, you may not get that wheat taste if the protein was reduced. HOWEVER, I would triple and quadruple the spices and seasonings when I used the Bob’s brand, and I still got that wheat taste. I switched to Anthony’s brand now, and I don’t get the wheat taste.

[@DK-qj7cr]

@@daksmom1999 👍🏼

[@AC-qz3uj]

Put a bit of vinegar in your wet mix. It somehow helps with the taste.

[@daksmom1999]

@@AC-qz3uj That SOMETIMES helps. I don’t have elevated taste buds, meaning, I can’t tell you what herbs, spices, seasonings are in food, like a lot of people can, BUT, no matter how much vinegar, herbs, spices, etc. I put in the Bob’s brand of VWG, I still can taste that strong wheat taste. I once added too much vinegar, and I could taste that. I finally switched to Anthony’s brand, and I don’t get that after taste. But, the new thing is washing flour, and with the first washing, people save that water, and make bacon and pepperoni out of it.

[@THEHORSELOVER235]

Can i boil it instead of steaming it

[@yessicainfante831]

You can simmer it in broth. Just make sure it’s not boiling or it will make your seitan spongy.

@@d.lightfultv2231actually it's just your opinion that is dumb, or more correctly, ignorant. This recipe is to show meat eaters they don't have to eat carcinogenic, dead animal pieces to get tasty meaty food. Meat eaters don't necessarily like meat (no one eats a chicken, pig, lamb or cow meat plain without seasoning or marinades), they like the meaty texture and taste and mouth feel. In other words, you can have your meat and eat it too - without cruelty and health-risk.

Some human idiocy we’ve been practicing since we’ve mastered fire. This is not different from that. 3 - why are you so triggered? why do you resent us so much that you feel the need to post mean idiotic comments to a friendly family channel?
