I stumbled across this vid the other day and decided to try it. I am a long term vegan (over 32 years) and have a stock standard seitan recipe that I make but this looked like a much faster way to arrive at my destination. I didn't hold out a lot of hope that this recipe would be good and my husband is a fussy eater so he is very hard to please but I figured it wasn't a lot of ingredients to "waste" so I gave it a go. I decided to make a thick gravy style sauce with fried sliced mushrooms and onions that I added to the frypan when I flipped the frying seitan pieces for the first time to brown the second side and once they cooked I added the water and put the lid on for it all to steam together. Once the water evaporated I then poured in about a cup of water with added mustard, soy sauce etc. to give a good gravy flavour and colour and used a beurre manie (mixed equal parts vegan butter and all-purpose flour) to thicken the mix when it heated. I added frozen peas directly into this hot mix and steamed some carrot chunks and threw them in and covered it with a lid. I left this till later in the day when my husband wanted his dinner and then steamed some potatoes to serve with the reheated "stew" and he said "This is excellent" and was picking out the seitan pieces from the mix to eat them as he was batching up the leftovers for storage. A total "SCORE!" and I am very excited to tinker around with this to use it in all kinds of recipes and I think it just superceded my usual seitan recipe. Most impressed with both the texture and the results. I did add additional flavourings to the mix as well as a heaped tsp of nutritional yeast to the dough. One thing, this made a LOT of seitan. I used my biggest frying pan 30 inches (76cm) and I was only just able to fit all of the pieces into the frying pan in a tight fit and it took longer to make than stated because of all of the turning etc. however lesson learned and I will use 2 frying pans next time. Excellent recipe and thank you so much for sharing it :)

I make seitan monthly. I only do the washed flour method that you taught me, I find the texture better than using gluten flour. I make a seasoning paste that I mix in the seitan. It contains miso, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), liquid smoke, nutritional yeast, and Kala namak (black salt). When used just a little, kala namak really makes the seitan taste like meat. Sometimes I blend a beetroot in the paste to get some red color and softer texture seitan. Thanks for the video!

Would this be a good seitan for other recipes aswel, or would you recommend your flour to seitan process for day to day use?
@ThePotThickens10 ай бұрын
Yes, absolutely. I use this process for a lot of different things. For example, I'll add more savory flavors of sage and fennel and make like little sausages. I have use this in a paella with the "simmering" part the paella making step after searing. I've used this to make patties for burgers and Swiss Steak. Really, the sky is the limit. There are so many uses.

I don't have pea protein and like you said I could throw in some all-purpose flour but how about chickpea flour can I put that in instead of the all-purpose

I tried this recipe, but the nuggets came out spongy, almost like a dense pancake texture. Any troubleshooting ideas? I'm wondering if I over kneaded it or over steamed it?
@ThePotThickens Жыл бұрын
I’m not sure. Did the outside get seared well? Spongy is usually caused by cooking in liquid too hot.

Isn't the gluten flour already 80% protein? Do you really need the pea protein?
@ThePotThickens2 жыл бұрын
Yes, but I add pea protein for a more complete protein. Gluten is low in lysine and is not a complete protein. Legumes provide that, so often I will mix gluten with beans or, in this case, pea protein.

How does this fast method for seitan compare with the taste of seitan made the slow way? Why are some measurements in grams?
@ThePotThickens2 жыл бұрын
Frankly, for me using vital wheat gluten, I prefer the taste of the fast method. I don't know how to describe it. I will say that I generally use this fast method for seitan that I am using in a very flavorful sauce, so it is not just the taste of the gluten.

Hi! Loved the recipe, tried it today. I would have liked the seitan to be a little less tough than it turned out though, what adjustment could I make? Or maybe I should just make thinner pieces... :)

Yes. I think the thinner, the better for this method.

So fried dough balls? Why use the word chicken?

This is almost pure lean protein. I use the word chicken because many people are searching for plant based alternatives to familiar meat dishes. They may know what seitan means.

@@ThePotThickens I've never heard of seitan before actually seems great even for a non vegan. Thanks for the tip I'll find some more recipes, I'm keto so won't be adding the sweet sauce with it. Would be better with amino acids but you can't have everything since it's already 15% of carbs and 10x the protein of regular flour.
@ThePotThickens Жыл бұрын
@@filipmatek Yes, it has been eaten for centuries in China. You can use and flavor it any way you like with low carb sauces or seasonings. Regarding amino acids, it is a really good protein source and the only amino acid it is low in is lysine. Combining with legumes provides a full complement of essential amino acids in one meal. But as long as you are getting other sources of proteins with lysine in your diet, there is no concern. Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching.

How many callories and protein is it with everything together?
@ThePotThickens2 жыл бұрын
My guess is the seitan is about 25% protein - 25 grams per 100 gram serving. With the oil and the sauce, the calories will add up. I haven't done the calculation. It should be less than if it were made with meat.

Any flour will do. Or you can add just a little cornstarch or other starch. It helps the texture not be rubbery.
