Making Seitan

[MsCymbalCrash]

This turned out much better than the one other seitan recipe that I have tried. I'm having some issue with squooshing all of the water out of it.  Would cheesecloth help, perhaps?

this stuff is good but it makes me fart. carbs man.....lol

[Tanfeliz]

I love this!  And you are so cute, you look like Giovanni Ribisi.

Hi Ed- I tried this recipe yesterday and my wheat gluten hardened immediately. I was not able to get it "soupy" like yours. Any tips to help me?

[veesancez]

@drinny26 the world might be a better place, we would use less energy, people would dress nicely, and our cites, neighborhoods, and suburbs would be nicely designed. Also, sex relations would be better-men vs woman wouldn't exist anymore, leaving us to work together without sex getting in the way.

For the longest time, I was confusing the spelling of "seitan" with that of "satan."

A few days ago I made seitan this way but although the slices were thin, I felt that they wern't completely cooked on the inside...and yes I left them cooking for a bit more than 45 minutes... Also, when I oput the seitan in the broth (it was vegetable broth) to cook, some of the seitan separated in tiny pieces..is this normal or should they mantain stick together? thanks !

i wish the whole world consisted of gay vegetarians

Mine's simmering right now!! :) Lemon pepper style.

Seitanic!

[fabiabiola]

So is that vital wheat gluten powder? or vital wheat gluten flour? or nutritional yeast? i'm super confused on what to buy i think i watched too many different methods. lol

[IrishRazz]

Excellent method for making sure the cooked seitan is nice and tender without the rubbery texture you get by over-working the dough. Superb - thanks Ed!

[susaneta20]

Hi! loved your vid. If you make traditional seitan (by washing a flour dough), do you have to boil de seitan before making slices and frying it in olive oil? casue I made seitan yesterday that way and the result was difficult to chew..like rubber as you say, I suppose. All the seitan made traditionally ends up having a rubber texture?? thanks!

don't stick your camera lens out in the boiling stove, you're gonna ruin the camera. nice recipe btw

[salamirterra]

I didn't even know Ed Norton vlogged.

[sallyellakitten]

This recipe is fantastic! A great starting point to get creative with. Thanks :)

when I massage the satan xD

Needs a little bit of finesse dude. Use something other than water to flavor it. Tomato paste seared in Olive Oil with spices, veggie broth, garlic, your favorite seasoning, old bay, oregano, basil, sage, rosemary, cayenne, marjoram, caraway, A1 sauce, mustard, salt, toasted sesame seed oil etc. Everything you're making looks kinda grey-brown & spongy. Less water in your gluten would mean less waste. Letting the seasoned seitan marinate overnight in fridge before cooking really helps too.

timebandit - this seitan is the worst i´ve ever seen

[Ersatzbee]

has anyone tried this method? has it worked for you? i think i might try a really really small batch just to try it out.

[MissSuperVeggie]

Thanx for posting this, but I must admit that the seitan looks kinda muddy. No appetizer at all.

[RockInBlack]

It turned into bread dumplings.... What did I do wrong?

[janar17]

So when can we see what you can make with Seitan after you boil them?

hehe.

[poisonedpallor]

Lemon Pepper chicken titties!!! *LOL* thats great that should have been the title. LOL

[rabidspaz86]

I tried this, but when I put the seitan in the water, it just crumbled.. maybe I didnt' wait long enough before I put it in the pot?

[MissSuperVeggie]

@rabidspaz86 You may wrap it into an aluminium foil before cooking. Do it watertight and it will get a compact shape.

[rrrina]

Awesome! Thank you!

[ZedralZ]

Did I hear "lemon and pepper chicken titties"? *LOL*

[stemega]

I believe you did, yes. :D

[ZackDasHuhn]

God bless Burger King!

[diaryoftheunborn]

i cook it with soja sauce in the water and garlic. Thanks for this!

[nandesneto]

I did seitan with wheat flour and was pretty good. I'm gonna try it again the same process because I don't know where to find the seitan flour or gluten flour, whatever... but I guess I'll have to order from internet.

[MrHaufniensis]

Hail Seitan. Thanks for the vid.

[elneseh]

este tipo de certeza que pega de marcha à trás.

cheers

[ollerwe]

Nice and clear. Good you highlighted that the dough hast to be very loose. I wouldn't have gone for that loose.

I hope you show us, as you said, what you can do with the seitan bits you already cooked.

Thanks!

[SBlossom]

wow... thank you very much. i always thought making seitan would take me like whole day hehe

[TarotLadyLissa]

[porolita22]

[seekstruth]
