Ingredients

3/4 cup vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vegetable broth powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup water
3 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons light oil for frying ((such as canola or vegetable))
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
1 small handful chopped green onions or chopped chives (for garnish)

Steps:

Add about an inch of water to a pot with a steamer basket and bring to a light boil.
In the meantime, whisk together the vital wheat gluten, flour, vegetable broth powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in the water and mix to form a ball of dough. Lightly grease the steamer basket, then tear off bite-sized pieces of the seitan dough and place them in a single layer in the steamer basket. Cover, and steam the seitan for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, in a small bowl or a measuring glass, mix together the Thai sweet chili sauce, hoisin, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside. (See notes for other sauce options).
When the seitan is done steaming, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan. Use tongs to remove the seitan bites from the steamer basket, and place them into the hot oil in the pan. Be careful as it may splatter. Cook the seitan bites a few minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the heat and add the sauce and toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired and serve hot.

STEAMED WHITE SEITAN (FAKE CHICKEN OR PORK)

Steamed white seitan from Viva vegan Terry Hope Romero. To be used in place of chicken or pork style dishes. I absolutely love this, feeling a bit saucy? Marinate in Reggae reggae sauce before cooking. I cheat at this recipe and use my kenwood chef dough hooks to knead for me

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken flavoured broth)
4 garlic cloves (grated)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup chickpea flour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

In a jug whisk together broth, garlic, olive oil. In a large bowl combine wheta gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, thyme, paprika, cumin, and salt. Form a well in centre of dry ingredients and stir well with rubber spatula until dough leaves side of the bowl.
Knead for 2-3 mins to develop gluten. I cheat at this stage and use the Kenwood chef to do the kneading on power 1 or 2.
Leave dough to rest for 10 min, knead again for 30 seconds.
Place dough on cutting board and cut into 4 equal pieces.
Tear off 4 X12 inch pieces of foil and place piece of dough in centre of foil, fold the short sides of the foil over the loaf, the fold over the ends the foil should be secure but loose allowing for it to expand. Place in steamer basket and steam for 30 minutes Allow the dough to cool to the touch before chilling in fridge or overnight.
Store seitan in the fridge tightly sealed in a plastic bag for up to 2 weeks or freeze, defrost before use.

CITY CHICKEN (OR PORK)

City Chicken (Or Pork) image

A modified recipe from Grandma. She liked making kabobs from her meat and cooking it covered on the stovetop, but it tends to come out juicier and more flavorful with my modifications. The original recipe calls for pork, but it can also be made with chicken. I usually make it with pork chops. Easy and delicious- I have to remind my husband to leave leftovers or he'll eat it all! You can easily cook for a crowd by using chicken breasts, just use two pans to brown the meat.
