Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Vital wheat gluten
- 0.5 cups Chickpea flour
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried sage
- 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning (vegan)
- 1.25 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tahini (or any neutral nut butter)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 sheets Aluminum foil (for wrapping)
Instructions
Preheat your steamer or large pot with a steaming rack to medium heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, dried sage, and poultry seasoning. Mix well.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: vegetable broth, soy sauce, tahini, and olive oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until the dough starts to form.
Knead the dough with your hands for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly firm but still pliable. Avoid over-kneading, as it can result in a chewy texture.
Divide the dough into two equal portions if you'd like smaller logs, or keep it as one large log.
Shape the dough into a log by rolling and pressing it gently into a cylindrical shape.
Wrap the log tightly in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to secure. Repeat for the second portion if divided.
Place the wrapped seitan logs into the steamer or pot and steam them for 1 hour and 15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Carefully remove the logs from the steamer and allow them to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before unwrapping.
Slice, shred, or cube the seitan log as desired and use it in your favorite recipes. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
