I made this stuff today and it was really easy, and wow! it's delicious! Not only does it taste SO MUCH BETTER than the vegan deli slices I buy ready-made, but it cost me a fraction of the price! Also y'all are just so totally cute together ;)
Just made this! I was a little "extra" and made a basting/glaze sauce for it. I forgot the proportions but I did: brown sugar, vegan butter, ACV, orange juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder and taste tested until it was right. After steaming I baked the seitan and basted it every 10 minutes, then a few times after it was out of the oven and cooling. Can't wait to try it lol
Beautiful! Thank you SO much for this recipe! looks even better than the Tofurky. I’m a vegan chef and I make these vegan “ham” croquettes that are SO delicious but buying those tofurky packs is very expensive 😣 Thank you for this recipe, not only will it help me get others into veganism, but will help my business so much!!
I've been making seitan for a while and the bake instead of boil is so much better! I actually introduced it to my kitchen at work and now our seitan gyro is one of our most popular dishes
erykasrpeach at what temp? And how do you wrap it beforehand? I’ve seen some people single wrap seitan with parchment OR foil and I’ve seen it with both. I wonder if it makes a different in texture. What I’m really saying is start a RU-vid channel bcus I can’t get enough of vegan RU-vid 😂
I made this today, I'm super happy with the outcome as I've had a few attempts at making seitan before but only for it to come out spongy. This however was perfect, so happy with this, thank you 👍 Ps. I got nervous about the prospect of the seitan exploding in the kitchen during the cooking process. Not sure I've ever been that on edge about cooking wheat before but there we are.
A lot of ppl prob already know but just in case its helpful for anybody, you said you could get a big thing of tofu at Costco. I just wanted to add that the oriental grocery stores are also an excellent place to get tofu way cheaper than the regular supermarket. And Indian grocery stores for chickpea flour. If you live in the city like me and Costco is all the way out in the suburbs, it could be a little easier too. Thank you for the video! Oh yeah do you think it would be ok if maybe after steaming it but before putting it in the oven, if you poked a couple holes in the foil with a fork? To keep it from exploding?
e verey Bobs Red Mill has Chickpea flour,VWG, and lots of other vegan products. Fake meat.com also has great vegan products. I live in a rural area and these products are difficult to find locally.
Made this last week and it is so much better than tofurkey. I made a marinade with water, braggs, and a lot of lq. smoke. Pat it dry and fried it. Taste just like bacon. BLT yumminess.
I made this yesterday and had it in a sandwich today. I made half the recipe. It was delicious. I think the next time I make it I will add garlic and more liquid smoke. I really enjoyed it, so easy to make. Thank you for the recipe.
Wow! I totally have to try this! 😍 A tofurky deli sandwich is a pretty standard lunch for me to bring to work. This looks SO much better, and way more affordable!
Great job. I would need about four times the seasonings, and I would use the vegetable stock instead of the water for steaming, adding some flavoring to that as well, such as pickling spices.
Could you be any cuter? Thanks for a joyful lesson in making vegan deli meat! The Goya brand makes a vegan "ham" seasoning that would be a perfect flavoring ingredient for this recipe, btw...
Please, unless you lnow differently the goya ham seasoning does contain pork flavoring. There IS a brand called Orrington that does have a vegan ham powder that is just Great. I put it on my vegan eggs, potato salad (hey, I like it that way!😛. So good!) (I hope this helps.).
O'boy Bil! Now you got me thinking! Imagine Orrington (or whatever brand) Vegan Ham powder flavoring, maple syrup, touch Hickory Liquid Smoke, couple TBSP or so poneapple juice could be way wicked! Thanks for your posting. Between you & the Sweet Simple Vegan folks, plus other folks ideas, have a great place start making really good & inexpensive vegan deli meats. 😃
Can't wait to try this! Weird thing for me is, I never ate or really liked sandwiches growing up. I now love them as a vegan, so this is perfect. Thank you!
You can also do this in a high end mixer with a dough hook for 10 minutes. More kneading and less work. Makes the texture even better. Also, spray the parchment with non stick. Dijon mustard would put it over the top. And picked red onion. Love you guys. Cheers from Ontario Canada. ❤️🌱❤️🌱🌱❤️ Oh....just got to the part where you mention the standing mixer. Haha. 😂☺️
Hi Jasmine & Chris, Roasted Garlic & Sun dried Tomatoes, would be great in this too! I guess you could really "Customize" this Recipe to your liking or need. Blessings from Oklahoma, Piper
I've been meaning to make this for so long so I'm rewatching so I can finally make it! I love wraps and sandwiches and I hate buying store bought deli style slices because of what you were saying about price and packaging, so I usually just have chickpea salad.
I’m making this now - my first seitan - and I don’t know why, I thought it would be a whole project... it’s so freaking simple!! And it already smells delicious. I think because seitan is often so expensive we think it’s more involved than it is. Unless I’m feeling really lazy, idk if I’ll be buying store bought slices if this turns out right
Have you tried grilling a slice to make something like crispy bacon? That's what I do with regular tofurky and it sort of works. Great for a club sandwich :)
I am glad that I happened upon your channel. I was immediately captivated and proceeded to like and subscribe. LOL. I just thought I would pause the video and say this as I might forget to do later. But, I need to get back to watching your video. I’m excited. By the way, you guys are a very good looking couple. Keep up the good work.
i'm so in love with you two! also the recipe is so simple and handy, love it. than you. AND YES I GOT HIS JOKE, TRYING TO USE THE CHANEL NAMES, SIMPLE AND SWEET.
I tested out your recipe today. It turned out great! This is my first successful batch of seitan. It's going to be great on sandwiches. I had to make a few adjustments because of the ingredients I had on hand but your process worked very well.
This looks AMAZING! I'm definitely going to make this, thank you! :) Have you tried to make other deli meats? I'd love a pepperoni or salami version haha
Lacey Anne Conniesrawsomekitch has pepperoni and salami videos. She doesn’t have written recipes but she has the ingredients listed on the screen and shows how she makes it. (Like old school pbs food show) I have had good luck with her recipes. But I would love to see their take on pepperoni and salami.
@Infernal Moondance I don't crave torturing and killing animals. People don't go vegan because they hate the taste of meat. Vegan food is fun and delicious, and doesn't require someone else's lifetime of suffering for my 5 minutes of chewing. Imagine that.
I’m totally looking forward to trying your recipe! Love the story of the exploding seitan! I laughed so very hard🤣 also, just a little suggestion on slicing seitan with ease…I have a lot of luck with my electric knife that I used to carve real turkey 🦃 with -many moons ago!!! 🌛🌙🌜🌝
I barely came across tofurkey this week so cool you guys doing this! I tried the smoke and pepper and they both were good. I have to say the pepper one was my favorite the smoke gave me heartburn. No lie I’m obsessed with this i snacked it with pickles ☺️
Can probably do a roast beef one too. I'm not a huge fan of the roast beef vegan deli meat but a lot of my family is. Definitely going to try this. And of course I'll send or tag you in pictures
I try to avoid gluten but I would make an exception just to try this! I love how easy it looks and reading the positive comments, I’m curious how it will turn out!☺️ Thank you
I love how intensely interested Chris is in the rolling process. 13:01 haha My friends tell me that's how I look when I'm watching a video or reading. I have tried so many different seitan recipes and none quite do it. I have to try this one for sure. I found that if you sear the slices of seitan in a frying pan it gives it an amazing flavor. It's like the crispy end of meat that sits in the juice during cooking (you know, that part that is full of flavor). You can also wrap it right out of the pan so the steam softens it after it's chilled if you don't want that crispy texture. (personally, that was my favorite part when I use to eat meat.) I literally bought a meat slicer from Amazon just to get those thin deli sliced cold cuts. ( I bought the cheap $50 one and it works great.)
I just had my first tofurky deli slice sandwich this week. It was so good. I’ve missed really great sandwiches since going vegan. thanks for this recipe. I will definitely be making this! thank you,
Excellent sandwich. More exciting for me - I got vegan ads for you guys! That doesn't normally happen. Yay for Qorn! Now to enjoy some excellent salad sandwiches with your deli meat!
Great recipe!! I use this to make vegan ham croquetas (croquettes) D E L I C I O U S! Thank you so much, tofurky is so expensive this has saved me a bunch of money ❤️
I make this often for a year or so now and I love it!! Still would like to have an alternative for the vital wheat gluten. Any suggestions that’ll give the same texture?
Where can one find the actual recipe? Thanks! I'd like to try making this, but it's hard to just go by the viedo alone! It looks great! I found it! I want to make this soon! I crave "deli slices"!
You actually don’t have to knead that! If you have the patience you can let it sit on your counter for a few hours and it will autolyse. Think about it...you’re not activating the gluten in vital wheat gluten bc it’s already just gluten. Idk if that makes sense lol
I really want to make this. I never saw such a recipe before. I am glad that you no longer eat ham !!! I am happy that there is no alcohol in this recipe. Our Dear God Said that we must not eat ham and we must not drink alcohol. We want to be pure and gain entrance into God's Garden afte our death. I ask Dear God humbly to Bless you and your family.💐🍦🌳🍐🐚🌷🌺🐾🍁🍆🧀🍄🐀🌸🍌🌻🍀🍉🎂🐱🍏🍩🌼🍅🌹🦃❤️🕌❤️🕌❤️🕌❤️🕌🕌🕌🕌
OMG, that looks amazing! I LOVE sandwiches, and I haven't had a good sandwich since I've gone vegan. How heavy is the loaf? How long can it keep in the fridge, and can it be frozen? I may be making this tomorrow!
I often make the vegan dad version and put half in the freezer - I find it comes out best if you slice then freeze. I preslice the whole loaf and drizzle a little oil on, then freeze half of that. The oil keeps it nice and moist.
I am sure it can be done without the gluten. More besan, tapioca, perhaps, irish moss.... The gluten will mean a lot of people won't want It. Will try it....
