Just made this on a whim and holy cow. Best seitan I've ever had. They're not spicy at all but thats ok. They tasted similar to Morningstar's Chick'n nuggets.

Hi Anonymous,

The texture can be adjusted in Step 3 depending on how dense you want your seitan. The longer you knead it, and the less water goes into it, the denser it will be. We should also say that seitan is somewhat "rubbery" and won't be an exact replica of meat texture.

If you'd like to try something completely different, you could experiment with substituting a portion of the vital wheat gluten with chickpea flour. We've read that chickpea flour can help create a "lighter" texture, which is what you might prefer.

As far as the flavor, you can always increase the amount of seasonings that go into it in Step 2. If you're not tasting anything, you can probably even double the seasonings. We tend to keep seasonings to a neutral amount since we're writing these recipes for so many ranges of palates. Feel free to change the seasonings altogether, too! You can add herbs like basil or thyme, hot sauce, cumin or onion powder.

Please feel free to write back if you try this again. We hope you find the perfect combination to satisfy your munchies.

Cheers,
TVS

The instructions say to boil the seitan but doing so will cause the seitan to go all brainy inside. It is important to only simmer the seitan.

This is exactly how they made in the local pub. Thanks a lot!
