Vegan Drumsticks | Washed Flour Method | Seitan | (NTW) BBQ & Fried Chickn

Here’s another seitan recipe that I’ve created. This one here is a family favorite! I hope that you enjoy making it as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it! Please be sure to tag me @yessies_plantbaseddiet_ I’d love to see your creations...
Seitan Seasoning:
1 1/2 Tbsp consommé ( I used Osem brand)
2 Tbsp sesame seed oil
1/2 Tbsp agave syrup
4 Tbsp liquid aminos
5 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 Tsp onion powder
2 Tsp garlic powder
Breading ingredients for fried chickn
Wet mix
1/2 cup of flour
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 cup water
Mix well to create a batter.
Dry Mix
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 tsp ground ginger powder
2 tbsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp umami mushroom powder
Troubleshooting
Possible Modifications & Tips
1.) I prefer washing the dough with warm water, but some people alternate cold and warm water. Do what works for you.
2.) Not Thoroughly Washed (NTW) flour gives a softer consistency. Washing the flour until the water runs clear gives you a chewier consistency.
3.) Squeeze as much water out of the dough as possible after washing it, before adding the seasonings. The dough should bind together at this point and should be very stretchy, not too wet.
4.) Rest the seasoned dough for 2 hours after seasoning to allow the dough to relax. This allows the dough strands to develop. The dough becomes more elastic to help with the knotting stage.
5.) Cutting the dough in smaller pieces allows it to cook in a shorter time. I’ve cut the dough in 8-16 pieces and I steam it for NO LONGER THAN 1 HOUR.
6.) Steaming the dough longer than 1 hour will result in a sponge like consistency. Not ideal! If you’re steaming it in a pot, make sure that the water is always at a simmer not boiling. The dough will expand too much if it’s steamed with boiling water.
7.) Though you can use the seitan right away, allowing the cooked dough to rest in the fridge overnight gives a more dense consistency.
8.) I encourage you to play around with the seasonings and do what works for you. Also, have fun with it and remember practice makes progress!

Oh boy. Every once in a while there is a recipe, often a video, that tempts me so much I simply _have_ to try it. This is in part how I became a vegan, I saw something and instantly thought "This looks amazing, like someone created the impossible, challenge accepted." Your recipe and video gave me that feeling again, thank you very much, I'll certainly do this. Nice video editing, voice over, cutting and overall presentation as well, you deserve more subscribers. Instructions seem very clear, good tips. Best wishes from Germany!

[@yessicainfante831]

Thank you so much! Yes, give it a go and let me know how it turns out! 😁

[@matthewcuomo421]

If you have not already seen him, you should check out sauce stache on KZbin. He’s does many challenges where he tried to perfect a vegan version of something. I tell you this because early on I also really liked watching videos of vegan food, for the same reason you said. Then I became vegan

[@junkyardstud8597]

@@yessicainfante831 that is so much work! you can try to do better things for nature or humanity in that many hours you wasted. Many try to do nicer things instead of trying to do food that looks like meat! Meat that comes from our friends!! You and the people who made positive comments are hypocrites! You people disgust me! Why go vegan if you are craving meat?? Hypocrites!!!!

​@@junkyardstud8597 if animals are your friends that's one more reason not to eat them while there is an abundance of other food available. Who's the hypocrite? Do you also refuse eating a piece of a wedding cake because the baker could have spent the time making it for other things?

Jeff S: How did it turn out? Like a chicken salad sandwich? Did you use mayo or incorporate it into a curry? I'm curious. 🌹

GREAT job! You were both thorough and clear. Now I can finish watching your vegan brisket video. THANKYOU.

It will be worth it! Just make sure that your dough isn’t too wet after washing. Squeeze as much water out of it as possible. Most people have a difficult time with this step.

Thank you! Yes, the most important part is getting the right texture after washing the flour. Just make sure you squeeze out as much water out of it before the seasonings stage 😉

[@PatrickBalsamo]

Thanks for this video. I've tried WTF seitan every few years for the last 15 years and failed almost every time. This was a win for me - I will make this all the time. My husband doesn't like my seitan but he ate this and went back for seconds.

Thank you for sharing your process. Being a more visual learner helps me to feel more prepared to try a WTF seitan. As you would surely know and have seen the drama on Facebook groups, for whatever reasons recipes are tremendously controversial, but this gives me a solid reference point of what to watch out for and how to start while I develop my own process.

[@yessicainfante831]

You’re welcome! I’m happy to help and share my methods in hopes that it will make it easier for someone to create their own seitan. It’s definitely a learning experience. Just be patient and don’t give up. I didn’t get it right until my third attempt, as my dough was too wet after washing. I had to learn just how much to wash it and to squeeze as much water out of it before incorporating the seasonings.

[@gaildouglas-boykin4740]

Thank you so much for this very detailed video. It is much appreciated by this Seitan newbie. My first attempt at the not that washed method and the pickiest eater enjoyed it. I’m attempting your brisket recipe next. Blessings to you.

What makes this healthy? From what i have heard, the stuff that is left after the starch is washed off is gluten. This (supposedly) have similar side effects as glutamate: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jF6whIuDotF5oZI This being said... Not everyone think glutamate is dangerous, as long as it is not consumed in exaggerated amounts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXiYhaVnaLtjY6c Im not sure what to believe. I try to avoid buying spices that contains MSG, but thats as far as it goes...
