There are many ways to cook seitan. We like to keep things lower fat and no oil if possible, so, we came up with three ways to prepare seitan, and we wanted to show the differences!

Love your channel!! I have been cooking seitan for years. I always use the simmer method. I make large batches (8-9 servings) and freeze the remaining servings. I add flavorings to the "broth". Always has worked best for me!

@suzanneaubin7599 2 месяца назад

I wish!! Simmering always turns out 50/50 for me. Steaming it always turns out though. Wish I could nail down the simmer 🙁

@PlantBasedBistro 2 месяца назад

Probably too high a temp.

@suzanneaubin7599 2 месяца назад

@@PlantBasedBistrothanks! I’ll check the temperature based on your suggestion from the video. Excited to try it again!! ❤

@suzanneaubin7599 I just watch for a bare simmer. Like barely a bubble.

I used ypur recipe yesterday and made 4 flat cutlets, while I was looking up your recipe I came across a method of cooking in the instant pot. I placed the cutlets on the bottom of tne pot, covered them with water just to cover and did manual for 3 minutes, let it naturaly release. They were amazing! I couldn't believe the taste with so simple ingredeints and just water. You have taken seitan to a new level.Thank you so much.Try the Ipot, so easy

@PlantBasedBistro 2 месяца назад

Interesting, will have to try that!

@jennamakesbugs 2 месяца назад

I pressure cook mine in the instant pot. I will make up a few 'cutlets', freeze them as dough, then cook them from frozen as needed. I would suggest wrapping them very well to freeze and using within 2-3 weeks. I love seitan but my stomach prefers it occasionally.

@7drunkenmermaids431 Месяц назад

How long do u set the pressure to?

@nolow_life 2 месяца назад

Another fantastic way to get more texture and flavor is to take the pre-cooked seitan and pan fry it on both sides to create some char, which allows it to hold its shape, and then adding liquid/broth to the pan to essentially steam it after you've charred it

@PlantBasedBistro 2 месяца назад

Yeah this was just the base. Pan frying usually requires oil, and we were avoiding that in this particular video.

@Falafelzebub 2 месяца назад

I wrap mine in butter muslin and kitchen string when I simmer. It seems to keep the bubbles out, and I don't get a dumpling texture. And you can wash the muslin for re-use.

@PlantBasedBistro 2 месяца назад

You can do that, sure.

@Oriansenshi 2 месяца назад

thanks for this video. It helped me a lot. I used to swear by the fry-simmer-fry method, but I had trouble with that recently and was inspired by you to try steaming and really loved that method, even if it got a little gummy and I had trouble keeping enough water in my pot for it. This is making me want to go back and give simmering another shot!

@raeraesma 2 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing this video. I’m so interested in seitan recipes, and finding ways to cook it without it tasting odd, and having a gummy texture. I hope you delve a little deeper with flavors. I appreciate your videos so much! 😊

@joannestretch 2 месяца назад

I usually steam my seitan adding lots of flavorings to the liquid before combining the wet and dry However when making steaks then i simmer in flavored liquid eventhough ive flavored the seitan before the simmer via the wet ingredients, the broth just gives it extra flavor but ive found not that much from the broth, i boil it first the liquid then bring it down to a simmer and only then would i add the seitan steak pieces, ive found that if the simmering liquid is too hot (more than a simmer) the seitan will become bready in texture After using these methods then i fry or do other things to the cooked seitan, like fry the steak seitan , or use the steamed seitan in like unchicken teriyaki or unchicken shis tawook or any other type i would like to make Love the both of you, you make a wonder pair in life and in cooking, ty for your videos

@kmbjbb 2 месяца назад

I have steamed mine in the Instant Pot. And I have steamed in a rice cooker. I have a large "bean pot" that is a bit too large for the large burner on the stove, but it works and we can steam up to 8-10 cutlets at once. Never tried any other way. I am too new to making seitan.

Thanks for this video! It’s very timely as I’m also trying to find a good method for when I don’t want to fry the seitan. I just tried steaming today for the first time just as you both did here. It worked out well. I’m going to give simmering a try next. The tips here will be very helpful for dialing in my preferred method. Also, I didn’t know about resting the dough overnight. I’ll have to try that too. 👍

Thanks for this... I will give it a try! Wondering if you checked the sodium level of the chicken flavoring/consume you are using or suggesting.... 1020 mg is quite excessive!??? I will stick to seasoning it with herbs and other spices. Thanks for sharing the techniques. Enjoying your videos

@PlantBasedBistro 2 месяца назад

It is a bit more sodium than I'd like, but we don't eat all of the recipe in one serving. This is probably 4-5 servings for what we made here, making it 200mg per serving or so.

@markphillips7538 2 месяца назад

See now I'm curious how the texture of each varies after they have been in the fridge overnight. I've been rather shocked how much resting changes the entire seitan or anything made with VWG.

A bit firmer, actually.

I don't normally use rice wine vinegar, and each recipe is a little different imo. I do often add it when making seitan from vital wheat gluten though.
