How To Make Seitan Recipe With Chickpea Flour [Vegan]
- In a large bowl, combine your vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, dried basil, and onion powder and then set them aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together your ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and 1 1/2 cups of hot water.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture has a dough-like consistency.
- Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes, adding more vital gluten wheat if dough is very sticky.
- Roll the dough in plastic wrap and tie a knot at each end. Leave 1 inch at both ends to allow the dough to expand.
- Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot.
- Carefully place plastic-wrapped seitan in the boiling broth. Cover the pot, return the broth to a boil, and reduce the heat to low.
- Continue simmering your seitan until firm while turning it occasionally. This should take about 1 hour.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let your seitan cool for 15 minutes in broth.
- Cut off knots at either end and remove plastic wrapping. Slice seitan before serving.
