How to Make Seitan (Vegan Meat) Dough 1 cup vital wheat gluten 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast 1/2 cup vegetable broth 1/4 cup liquid amino acid (such as BraggÂŽ) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic Broth 4 cups vegetable broth 4 cups water Directions: Stir vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, 1/2 cup vegetable broth, liquid amino acid, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl until ingredients come together into a ball. Knead ball until dough has a rubbery texture. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into 1/2-inch thick patties. Bring 4 cups vegetable broth, water, and tamari to a boil in a large pot. Carefully place patties into boiling broth; cover pot and return to a boil. Set lid slightly askew to vent steam and reduce heat to low. Continue simmering patties until firm, turning patties occasionally, about 1 hour. Remove pot from heat and set lid aside. Allow patties to cool in broth for 15 minutes before serving. Prep time: 15 mins Cook Time 1 hr.
BBQ-Style Seitan Ribs Ingredients 1 cup vital wheat gluten 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast 2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 3/4 cup water 2 tablespoons tahini or other nut butter 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke about 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce. Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly spray an 8×8 baking dish with canola oil. Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the water with the nut butter, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well and then knead lightly in the bowl 15-60 seconds (the less you knead it, the more tender it is; the longer, the chewier). Put the dough into the baking dish and flatten it so that it evenly fills the pan. Take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then turn the pan and cut those strips in half to form 16 pieces: Put it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. While it’s cooking prepare your grill. Remove it from the oven and carefully re-cut each strip, going over each cut to make sure that the ribz will pull apart easily later. Generously brush the top with barbecue sauce. Take it to the grill and invert the whole baking dish onto the grill (or use a large spatula to lift the seitan out, placing it sauce-side down on the grill). Brush the top of the seitan with more sauce: Watch it closely to make sure that it doesn’t burn. When it’s sufficiently brown on one side, turn over and cook the other side, adding more sauce, if necessary. When done, remove to a platter and cut or pull apart the individual ribs to serve.
No Girl No Worries
To make this without a grill, bake it for 25 minutes without barbecue sauce. Then brush the top with a generous coating of sauce, turn the whole thing over carefully in the pan, and brush the other side with sauce. Bake for another 10-20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and caramelized slightly but not burned. Remove from oven, cut apart, and serve. For best results when doubling the recipe, cook in two separate baking dishes.

We are not cooking the vegetable to get limp and soggy, just to coat with all other ingredients. Take one flour tortilla and place it in the pan. Spread some butter/oil on the tortilla. Toast the tortillas for about 10 seconds each side until air pockets begin to form within the tortilla. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture over one half of the tortilla.

Fried Chick’n Strips Ingredients: 1 (12 ounce) package water packed silken-style soft tofu, frozen and thawed 1 cup flour or bread crumbs, for coating garlic powder, to taste salt and pepper, to taste paprika, to taste parsley, to taste 1/2 teaspoon vegan sugar 1/4 teaspoon turmeric for yellow color, optional Directions: Drain water from tofu, then smash it. Place between two cutting boards or whatever you have, and use a towel to soak up the water until tofu is about 1/2”thick. Really smoosh all the water out! Mix all the spices and sugar with the flour. Carefully take the tofu apart where it naturally is too thin to hold together; it’s like strips. Make sure tofu is very cold before rolling in flour. Roll cold tofu in flour and spice mixture then let it sit on a plate (very important) and molecularly bond with the flour for 15 minutes-1 hour. Fry in oil until crispy and browned. It’s great with any dipping sauce! I served it with mashed potatoes and artichokes. I bet you could bake it at 350 degrees F for 1 hour, turning a couple times carefully. Enjoy! Source of recipe: This recipe is courtesy of a wonderful accident! I froze the soft silken tofu, when it defrosted all the water just oozed out, I kept squeezing (cause it was kinda fun) and the resulting flattened square looked like something I could tear into strips. I thought the silken soft tofu wouldn’t work for meat substitutes, but this is why it is so good! I don’t want to be running off at the mouth but this recipe is more technique than ingredients.
