The GREATEST Vegan Reuben Sandwich ft Chad Sarno 

“We’re going to roil this up here just like a giant spliff here” lol. This has always been one of my favorite cooking channels.

'tightly role it, just like a giant spliff' haha just wicked!

Nice tip about pan frying onions vs sweating.

He bit into the sandwitch and I shook my head in absolute jealousy, amazing sandwich, what an art, with no animals needed, beautiful!

Oops did I see some of the seitan mix fly into the onion powder bowl? 😉 Love this recipe thanks x

FINALLY! Been waiting for someone to make a vegan pastrami sandwich for AAAAGES. Can not wait to try this.

Made seitan today, its so easy, i like to boil it in a broth for an hour (avantgarde vegan), let it sit, then leave in the fridge overnight for extra firmness. i like to slice into chicken bites size, make a mcrib style sauce for it with some cornflour, smother the pieces in the sauce and pan fry. Omg its amazing, you will not miss meat ever again. You can literally make 1-2 weeks worth in one batch, takes about 20-25 mins prep and kneeding.

Mouth-watering. So glad I'm vegan. 🧡🧡

Wow! You prepared this Rueben so masterfully! You have tremendous knife skills and your execution is tremendous! Vegan cooking has become a viable cuisine that you are furthering through video and creative recipe knowledge.

I had made note of this recipe, because I remember having an OUTSTANDING vegan Reuben many years ago in Illinois. Well, yesterday I made the seitan. I was a good girl and didn't slice it until today... I haven't even made the Reuben yet -- just tasted the cold seitan and it is DELICIOUS!! It has a really good zing to it! I lost my head when actually making it and threw the whole liquid into the dry mix; but added more vital wheat gluten, as suggested, and it came out fine. I divided the batch into two smaller loaves to bake in my toaster oven. Took a bit longer to bake, but just kept checking it. So looking forward to making my sandwich!! I even bought your cookbook because it inspired me to get back into cooking (not that I quit; just been a bit lazy to put effort into making new items). Also, made your kale and avocado salad which was really tasty.

Is there a recipe written anywhere?

I've always avoided trying to make my own seitan because it just seemed too time consuming and it's cheap to buy, but I've been craving Reuben sandwiches lately and the only vegan pastrami I've been able to find locally is a bland, flavourless mass-produced brand that has the consistency of thickened glue. This looks like the perfect solution to my dilemma, you make it seem so easy.

Whew, I'm drooling already.. 💚

Wow!! Thanks for making and sharing videos and recipes!

OHH MYY ! That looks amazing!

We're going to try this. Thanks for the step by step instructions

Fabulous, everything makes sense, thank you for re creating this

Also that tip about assembly the ingredients in separate portions in the pan. Never would hv thought of tht.

OMG!!! Thank you 🙏 🎉!!! I love the Reuben from the Chicago Diner. I can’t wait to make this!

Made this and followed recipe all the way, absolutely delicious! Best reuben sandwich. SOOOO GOOOOD!!! Thank you :)

I love this Vegan Reuben Sandwich. It's not just delicious but also healthy. You demonstrated it clearly and beautifully. Big like and have a fantastic week.

You are the best!!! I can't wait to make this!

I have been WAITING for you to do this video! Thank you 😊

This looked so good I wrote down the recipe and have made it twice already. It's DEE-LISH. Bravo chef!

That 19 minutes felt more like 3 minutes. Jam packed with instruction and yummy goodness, I have been binging Wicked Kitchen videos this weekend, I've learned so much.

thank you!

Yum! Thank-you! This is gonna be goooood!!!

amazing!!! can't wait to make it!!

Yummy looks delicious! Can't wait to try it.

A true masterclass!

literally my favorite thing

Ooh, this looks FAB. One of my favourite sandwiches. Thanks 😘

loooove it

Creative!

I have made many avocado Reubens and tempeh Reubens. Can’t wait to try this one.

Ive heard black pepper doesn’t stand up to heat but white pepper does. Not only flavor but the capsaicin breaks down too.

Looks good I want to try.

The Chicago Diner is the best. And, so is this recipe and video!! Gracias!!

Incredible work!

i just had a reuben at the chicago diner recently. so good!!

this is beautiful!!!

This looks great, EXCEPT for one thing. I think it's better if you pan fry the whole built sandwich in some butter, adding a lid for this step as well, instead of toasting the bread and melting the cheese separately. This is how my Grandma taught me to make Reubens (though she was doing meat ones of course). It guarantees that when you serve it, it will all be hot and gooey, as it gives all the ingredients a chance to soak up some heat together. It also seems to help the sandwich stay together and I suspect it helps the flavors from the different ingredients harmonize a bit more. I'll also add that if you're lazy like me, Unreal Deli makes some pretty solid corned "beef." I get it at my local grocery here in Southern California. I'm not an employee or paid to say that I just think it's really good. I found out about it initially through Mendocino Farm's vegan reuben.

I've never had a reuben sandwich, but I would definitely try this recipe.

Wow That looked Fantastic..........

This looks very interesting. I'll try to imitate something like this. Thanks for sharing

This looks amazing! Can't wait to try it.

That looks absolutely amazing

Wow I have no idea how a real pastrami sandwich taste but LOVE a great vegan Ruben. Thank you

Yumm!!!! I’ll take a few. ☺️❤️❤️

One of the best Wicked recipes! I shared it with a meat eater and he keeps asking for more.

That's my Saturday lunch taken care of. Looking forward to trying this.

That looks delicious

Had a vegan reuben in a place this week and decided to see if Wicked Kitchen had a recipe! Seriously with this - love you guys thank you! Cannot wait to try it this weekend.

The Chicago diner reuben is my fav too!

keep 'em coming! :D

Delicious 😋

Seems very good !

Well my meal came out really good! Great flavor and all components worked well together! It's not quite corned beef, but very flavorful and the sauce was great! Loved the browned sauted onions with it, too.

This looks awesome. I Love videos, who take things, I have at home. I made something like it before. Thanks for new tips.

Thanks for sharing. I just made the brisket which was amazing. I was thinking how i would modify that recipe to make pastrami . You took care of that for me.. Thank you so much!!!!

Hell yeah, that seitan pastrami looks awesome! I have to try this myself

Amazing! Can’t wait to cook these at home! Thank you for sharing this. I was skeptical about seitan before I tried various dishes creative like this one. Shouts out to Chicago Diner that place is excellent 👌🏼

My favorite sandwich at Chicago Diner! I can't wait to try your recipe!

Amazing! I knew I wanted to try this from the moment I got your cookbook but I felt intimidated and kept putting it off until your video showed up! I knew there were no more excuses and I had all of the ingredients. I made it this morning and it’s been cooling for the last hour or so. Just shaved a few pieces off to try…omg, this is life changing!! Thank you for making this recipe accessible with the companion video. Cannot wait for the Reubens later. Cheers.

wow I felt like you were cooking for me. ) looks fantastic

This looks rad! And a shout out to the Chicago Diner, a local institution, nice!

Looks good 🙂🙂

Excellent job! From your series can guess where you're from... hmm.. I admire your collection! Beautiful theme you have. Exchange is just a virtual courteous gesture of appraisal.

Totally caught that bit fly into one of the little spice bowls before that part cut 😂

Mouth watering in anticipation, this looks ridiculously delicious!

Dank city right here!!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤 also love you more for the spliff reference 😂 can't wait to make this myself! Thanks so much for all the amazing ideas!

Made this today according to the Wicked Healthy recipe, and it was AMAZING! I have not had such good luck with prior seitan making, but roasting in the oven and cooling down resulted in an incredible pastrami texture and flavor. The sriracha sauce is yummilicious and will go on everything from now on 🤣. Thanks guys!

Thanks for sharing, healthy greetings from Kalimantan

in love!!! would love to have these exact measurements for the recipe. thanks!

Was never a huge pastrami fan. But I’d try this!

Another great recipe and video, Chad! Thank you for sharing this one. I love a good vegan reuben and this one looks deelish! Rouxbe grad here... mise en place always! 😄:) Sharon

Ok, I just drooled on myself 😅😅😅

I've heard so many complaints about how processed 'fake' meats are, but that just seems to be a fab mix of some great ingredients to make something wonderfully tasty!! Thank you :D

First, I just recently found and fell in love with this channel and omfg, THERE ARE TWO OF YOU. Double the joy. Second, did you intentionally put up a graphic saying “dried sherry”? I had to go back and look again there and for a second I was like, wait, is that a thing? Then I got to the giant spliff instruction and I’m just so extremely happy that this channel and these humans exist. Thank you so much.

Great job! I shared with non-vegan friends! I usually stay far away from seitan lol but yours looks so good!

I’m going to try this with Hempeh - can’t eat soy or gluten. Thank you for such great recipes

Vegan Reubens are my favorite

this is amazing, way to nail it 👊😎👏👏👏🥳🔥🔥🔥☄💥 🤤🤤🤤

Yummy 😋

Now I'm really hungry but I'll need to go shopping! 🙈

I want such a sandwich and J&B whisky for Father's Day...

That Chicago Diner Reuben don't mess around!

Can't wait to try; plant based and missing pastrami and Reuben's! Not sure what "vital wheat gluten" is as different from "wheat gluten''? Maybe get that at my local whole foods? My mouth is watering and I just subscribed. Your recipes and videos are top notch and I watch alot of foodie channels. Thank you for great instructional videos!

After watching the entire video, I was so impressed with your technique and expertise, I've now set up a small shrine to you in my living room....😉

I have wanted to make this ever since I saw this video months ago! Finally pulling the trigger today! Didn't have sherry so just used more broth. Those beets really mess up the kitchen lol. I'll let you know how it goes. Seitan is ready to go in the oven now!

oh hell yes!..this will happen....

Since you know how to roll a giant joint and cook amazing vegan food I'll bring the wine, conversation, and my appetite !!

oh yes

Hi, I can't wait to try this recipe! I don't have the high-speed blender yet; would it work as well if I partially cook the beats before I do the liquid blend? I'm afraid by regular blender won't be able to blend the raw beats.

Bring back the Wicked Kitchen Pumpkin Pesto!!!

I've seen it wrapped in brown kitchen paper first, then in the foil.

Save some for me

Hey just saw your products in the grocery store.

What is the name of the kind of blender you used?

Damn!!!!
