Sweet and Sour Seitan

Nov 18, 2009 10:53

This recipe was totally stolen from hapabento, and I'm gonna make it tonight since I finally made seitan yesterday! Wheeeee.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of bite sized pieces of seitan (can use pre-packaged, but I make my own--it's much less expensive and more convenient that way)
  • 1 cup of shoyu
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened juice from canned pineapple
  • grated fresh ( Read more... )

This sounds delicious, but I have to admit that I'm far more interested in how you make your own seitan. I think I might like to try that.

The first time I made seitan, I used a recipe for "simple" seitan from the Veganomicon. It was an unmitigated disaster--mostly because I wasn't used to the gas stove. However, for economic reasons, I didn't give up, and with practice it got much easier, and that recipe makes a good seitan. I've also got several recipes from a book called Cooking with Seitan. I'd be happy to provide any of those if you'd like.

However, for a simple start I'd suggest this: 99% of the time I use a recipe for Slow-Cooker Seitan Pot Roast. Simply leave out the vegetable part. Mix the ingredients for the seitan and put it in your crock pot with the broth. I let mine cook on low for about six hours instead of the directed four. I have a feeling that it depends on your crock pot. I also turn it once if I'm home to do so. If not, it still turns out fine ( ... )

I think I'm going to go ahead and try it pot roast style, veggies and everything. I've got the vital wheat gluten on hand and some lovely turnips from the CSA.

If all goes well, I think I would like to try a lunch meat style recipe. Thanks so much for sharing. I'll try to remember to let you know how it goes!
