How to Make Seitan Log Ii

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup vital wheat gluten, 1/2 cup nutritional yeast, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari), 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of vegetable broth.
  2. Mix thoroughly until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  3. Shape the dough into a log approximately 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter.
  4. Place the seitan log in a steamer basket or a heatproof dish with a bit of water in the bottom of the pan.
  5. Steam the seitan log for 60 minutes or until firm and cooked through.
  6. Remove the seitan log from the steamer and let it cool slightly before slicing or crumbling as desired.
  7. For a delicious seitan dip, slice the log and serve with a flavorful au jus broth (recipe can be found online!). Alternatively, crumble the seitan in a food processor and add to your favorite chili or taco recipe. Enjoy!
  8. Optional: For extra flavour, marinate the seitan log before steaming in 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari) and 1 tablespoon of your favorite liquid seasoning like mirin, for 30 minutes.
