My current favourite seitan recipe I have been working on for a while!

Serves 2-3, about 100g protein total

Ingredients

Dry
120g vital wheat gluten
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp garlic granules
1 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp msg (optional)

Wet
180ml water
1 tsp liquid smoke
2 tbsp soy sauce
Sweetener to taste

Glaze
100g ketchup (add some hot sauce if that’s your thing!)
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp mustard / 1/2 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp sesame oil

Garnish
Toasted sesame seeds
Chopped chives

Method

1. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl
2. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl/jug
3. Pour wet into dry + mix with spoon
4. Knead until gluten starts to develop, I do ~10 mins
5. Flatten into dish, cover tightly with foil + bake/air fry at 180°C for 20 mins
6. Uncover, flip seitan over in the dish, then bake/air fry for a further 10 mins
7. Mix glaze ingredients together
8. Take out seitan (be careful, it will be hot!) + slice into ribs
9. Brush on glaze (the saucier, the better) + sprinkle on sesame seeds
10. Cover with foil + put back in to cook for 8 mins
11. Allow to rest at least 10 mins before serving
