I made this burger today (minus a few ingredients I didn't have and plus a few suitable replacements) I didn't have vital wheat gluten and i don't know where to buy it, but I washed dough to make seitan and then put the seasonings etc... in my food processor along with the raw gluten and I swear down it was better than 90% of real beef burgers I've ever tried. I'm not a vegan (though i'm plant based for the year) this channel has made me think it wouldn't be tough to stay plant based if i were so inclined.

[@Marcoosianism]

Find replacements for some of your favorite foods and go from there. It really is doable.

[@MonkeyLuv127]

As a person with Celiacs this makes me very sad. As a vegan, I applaud this recipe.

[@SauceStache]

Ahhh I know how hard celiacs is! My best friends entire family has celiacs. This is not something I will do a lot, just something I will be adding in every now and then!

[@margarett_b]

YAY! Another video of yours! I love how you are experimenting with seitan as it has been a new addition to my recipes as well ;D And I must say, I am SUPER excited for what you are going to come up with having your experience!

[@guavagirl8344]

This actually tasted really good. My son liked it. I think I used psyllium husk powder instead of methylcellulose, and I used mashed beans for the pea protein. The beetroot powder gives it that reddish color just like meat. Will definitely make again!

[@beautyjolie9595]

As an Indonesian people, watching this in the middle of pandemic era where nearly impossible to travel safely to my favourite burger shop and too expensive to make a homemade burger plus THE NOTIFICATION POPPED UP IN 10.10 PM GMT+7.....I am super hungry omgggg :(((((((

[@SauceStache]

ahhhh make it!! Let me know what you think

[@amazongoddess118]

I always look.forward to your videos💕 they are informative without being boring, even when there are multiple steps you make it seem easy, and your enthusiasm is infectious. I would love to see you get picked up on a major network cooking show so people can see how yummy being plant based can be and that we are not eating cardboard tofu while starving ourselves.

[@taddmaxwell8363]

This man is a food scientists and engineer.

[@randomnumbers84269]

Nah, this guy aint too bright. Eating gluten is fine in moderation if you don't get any problems but deliberately trying to find ways to add it into your diet is asking to get hurt. It is an anti nutrient after all.

[@linacassoli6937]

I hope you don't mind but i'm using a lot of your tips on my Vegan Delivery's recipes and omg it took my burguers and hot dogs to a hole other level. In my country there's no product like that yet, and I always recomend your channel to my clients. When I'll have some time I'll add subtitles in Portuguese on your vids so more brazilian vegans can see your amazing content!

[@SauceStache]

Thats amazing!!! I dont mind at all! I appreciate you so much for adding the subtitles!! You are awesome

[@raeraesma]

You are amazing! Please continue the seitan recipes. ☺

[@onexpressocafe1821]

Plan on making white castle burgers with this recipe, by pressing into the mold closing and placing into the steamer for the 20 min. cool off and then freeze with the cover until grilling later. Burger mold maker, freezable Jokari Burger Maker Slider Maker, they also have hamburger and meatball molds which would help you portion size ""eyeball it " better.

[@m1cajah]

That looks delish. May have to try it without the cocoa powder. No anaphylaxis needed here! When you steamed them, was that just regular parchment paper in the steamer with them?

[@beingvenus]

I made a seitan based salami a couple times and cooked aborio rice in water with a lot of coconut oil and a little msg so it was sort of greasy and translucent by the time it finished steaming. Then I let it cool and worked it in to the seitan and it became a really neat alternative to just using the cold coconut oil flakes. The aborio rice had enough resistance to give it the right consistency. I wonder if it would work in this application as well. I always wanted to try a little bit of minced Konjac noodles for gristle too but I haven't tried it yeti

[@veronical3135]

I’ll try it but as for the coconut oil it would be simpler to just add it last to the mixture in liquid form since the mixture will stay in the fridge overnight.

[@diginani25t]

That looks wonderful!! What do you suggest for those of us that can’t eat coconut oil? This burger is the first one that every ingredient practically works for me except 1. Any ideas?? P.S. Love your channel 💙

[@jayac-thind6508]

You are ingenious!

[@whichoneisbilly]

This looks absolutely delicious. Can it be made without the coconut?

[@momstheword11]

I would add a little tvp for added texture but this looks fantastic! Thanks

[@lucaliaci8588]

This looks unbelievably tasty 😍😋 I'm watching your videos since 8 am and I'm craving vegan burger to the max ahah do you think he modernist pantry one is juicer than this? If yes why? Bigger chunks of fat? Thank you thank you thank you

[@andremarcatti7600]

Amazing, thank you for this! Is there anything I can use to substitute the Methylcellulose in the coconut pucks? Would potato or corn starch / agar / oatmeal or another natural thickening / emulsifier do?

[@joeb4142]

Xanthan gum is a good substitute.

[@andremarcatti7600]

@@joeb4142 thank you! I actually tried it and the results were underwhelming. Maybe it was the coconut oil though, will have to experiment with it a bit more.

[@sypris1001]

I couldn't find the recipe for this one! Looks great

[@freenomon2466]

thanks for all your videos. Can we use Sodium carbomethylcellulose instead of regular methylcellulose? I cant find any metylcellulose in my countrt

[@brilliantwriter4856]

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 Ok favorite channel just found you today Being creative with what you know or have isn't as fun as inventing

[@2sudonim]

Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and knead the dough for 10 minutes. The kneading develops the texture of the gluten. Use TVP instead of pea protein. You need 7 parts liquid for every 8 parts wheat gluten. Soak equal parts liquid and TVP for 10 minutes before mixing it with the wheat gluten. Use balsamic vinegar instead of white vinegar for a richer flavor. Add a quarter teaspoon of salt or half that amount of MSG.

[@agooddaytocraft]

I would love to try this recipe. Do you think needing the seitan would give it a better texture?

[@cindyrobinson5667]

Man. That looks so good

[@unabruja624]

I swear you always read my mind, love you man

[@KristinBassPetersen]

Ok, I'm back with a report! So I've made several seitan/VWG-based burgers before and no joke this was the BEST so far. A word of caution though: I made 4 patties out of my mix (ended up needing a total of 150ml of water, btw) and before steaming the patties were pretty small and super dense/tough. After 20 minutes of steaming they swelled up to at least double their size and we ended up with 4 HUGE burger patties. I'll actually cut the last two in half the next time we have them, haha. The texture was fantastic and the flavor was excellent. I'm so glad I stumbled across this video and decided to give these a try! Thanks Sauce Stache!!!!!!!

[@k.a6110]

Please list ingredients and measurements so I can take screen shots to help me when I’m out shopping for the ingredients 😅 great recipes 😁

[@riaandewinnaar5040]

Doing normal gluten "steak" and grinding with microcrystalline cellulose and binder could skip the coconut oil perhaps.

[@SuperFoodParents]

Your dad or wife (or any other person) reviewing is really helpful because we get another perspective. You told us it was a little soft (helpful), but your dad's input really helped. If you need another taster, I can be of some help there😎

[@ApexHerbivore]

Dear Mr Stache, for the extra density you seek, wrap the burgers in cling-film (saran wrap in US I think?) And then boil or steam them. As they can't expand as much they just become firmer. Great recipe though 👍

[@Snallis]

I'm new to seitan, but I've heard that if you boil instead the texture becomes more firm like rubber. Or maybe add more methylcellulose to get the patty more snap.

[@osamabinaldi4421]

I really like your videos! I got a video idea for you: show how to extract protein from plants. I am really interested in how to do it

[@dulcevillabona3609]

Awesome recipe! Is there any substitute for the plant based protein? They are hard to find in my country and I really want to try these burgers :(

[@Paganbeliever]

Greetings Sauce. I turned vegetarian a few months ago, and I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and since then has binge watched your videos. One thing I have to ask though, why the cocoa powder? Is it simply to make it more brownish in colour? Thank you for your reply and time

[@TUG657]

Looks great !!!

[@SauceStache]

It was dang good!!! Thank you

[@randomguy5565]

hey stache! Looks really great, in the end you said it was a bit too soft, in my experience you really need to knead the dough, i dont know the science behind but this always developed a more firm texture.

[@SauceStache]

Yeah if you just pulse it more I would bet it would end up firmer for sure!

[@blink2656]

Kneading develops the gluten structure. If you just quickly mix flour and water together, you have a soupy mess. But if you need it, the gluten structure forms and it can hold it's shape (think loaf of bread). The same goes for pure wheat gluten. Kneading longer builds a strong network of gluten, making it a firmer product.

[@dianew7058]

Yes it definitely makes it firmer. Don't be afraid to knead it, it won't get too tough.

[@villetakoo]

I was thinking the same, but wondering at what point would you add the coconut oil then? It might melt during the kneading and might be tricky to get it mixed well into the seitan afterwards.. 🤔

[@GlobalAidFederation]

@@villetakoo You could add it at the last moment before you make the patties just to distribute the flakes..

[@andrewdean3560]

i wonder if you made a firmer batch of seitan to chill and run through a grinder to then mix into the loose binder version and oil flakes to form into patties at the end.

[@PanchoBDM]

Do you think you could try making a burger but instead of using wvg, doing the washing the fluor method? It has a better texture and flavour, but i cant think of how to integrate it with the ingredients to make a burger.

You are doing great stuff, big fan of yours here! Since I started to cook vegan I discovered a world and exactly as you do, I try to replicate the vegan stuff that you can buy around I've made your mushroom pulled pork at least 100 times haha. Please, can you tell me how you use the pea protein in this kind or recipe? What it add to the final product, consistency? Thanks so much, keep it up!

[@SauceStache]

Thank you so much!!!! That pulled pork is so good right!! So the pea protein just adds density to the recipe, its giving the gluten something to cling to and bind with. Its not 100% necessary, but it will give it more chew!

[@paolomattiello2248]

@@SauceStacheGot it, thanks. I usually use the chickpea flour with the gluten but the seitan at the end is a little too firm, will definitely give this a try!

@@CleansHaven - Thanks!

[@LovelyRising]

I never understood the desire to cling to seitan as a meat replacement. I'll admit I'm biased because I can't eat it, but I've tasted it a few times in the past, and it really just tasted like chewy, wet bread to me. I feel like the texture of the beyond beef burger is so nice and crumbly like a real ground beef patty without any gluten to bind it together, I can't really see combining it with seitan making it any better. But it could just be personal preference. As always, I commend your efforts!

[@GaryHess]

To me it doesn't even taste like bread. It has a really strange taste and I can't put my finger on it. This is for homemade, restaurant, and when other people make it. The only times it doesn't have that taste is when some very powerful flavor takes over. I sometimes buy these "sausages" made out of VWG but has, I think, pea water or pea extract in it because it tastes like peas which I prefer. Having said this, VWG as a burger does NOT have that flavor. I think because it's so thin compared to other VWG products. But you are 100% spot on with the chewy thing along with the texture. It's nothing like actual meat, and you can even see when he shows the camera how it isn't, too.

You should use your current cheese recipe to make a stuffed burger similar to the ready to cook section in a supermarket meat section.

[@izzib6147]

Do you use sweet molasses or blackstrap molasses for the irony flavour?

[@grardb]

Awesome recipe! I've gotta get my hands on methylcellulose one of these days. Is the cocoa powder for color? Also curious about what the vinegar is for.

[@SauceStache]

The cocoa powder and vinegar are both flavor elements. Cocoa adds bitterness and the vinegar levels out the ph giving the gluten more of a bite then it would have

[@grardb]

@@SauceStache Interesting! Perhaps I should start incorporating vinegar into my seitan more often 🤔

Why not combine this with the previous one that had tvp after they're mixed separately? You'd still form the gluten bond, but you'd get the texture as well.
