Dinner I made for me n my (non vegan) family yesterday
Washed flour seitan with broccoli and cauliflower, cooked with paprika, garlic, Italian herbs and salt
It’s a bit undercooked bcs I was in a rush, but it has potential

VWG method: how to make seitan that has the bendy, flexible texture of meat?
I've made over 10 seitan experiments now, with plenty producing perfectly edible results. However, what I've noticed is that the flexible, bendy texture found in real meat is really lacking! My seitan's either gummy and "stiff", or wet and spongy in some cases.
Is there a way to give seitan a more flexy, bendy texture that's a bit more similar to meat?

Washed Flour
Washed flour method using King Arthur AP and a can of beans. Next time I'm going to blend the beans more thoroughly before mixing them in. Great texture though!

Has anyone in the U.S. bought the bulk seitan from Be Hive?
Thinking about giving it a shot. I make my own in bulk but this might be worth it to me because this is like 5 weeks worth for me. Not very experiential, just make it to eat to hit my protein goals for fitness.

Ham press seitan
I recently came across the idea to boil seitan in a ham press. The recipe I had included tofu with the washed flour. The results were pretty underwhelming (as far as loaves go) but made a nice ground "meat" texture. Anyone else using a ham press? Any tips, tricks or ideas?

The difference between washed flour seitan chicken and seitan chicken made from vital wheat gluten is a night and day difference
I made two batches of seitan chicken, one with vital wheat gluten and another from washed flour so I could see the side by side comparison.
The lighter, juicer looking seitan on the right is from washed flour. The denser and darker seitan is on the left.
(In the fridge it’s the washed flour on the left, vwg on the right)
Flavor wise and texture wise I prefer washed flour. It’s so much better.
But.
The vital wheat gluten seitan took me less than half the time to make. It still tastes good, and has a decent texture.
Both of the seitans simmered on low for two hours in the same broth.
Both were flavored with vegan chicken bullion, only the vwg version was made with hummus- so it had more flavor and oil in it.
Even with the extra oil and flavoring from the hummus in the vital wheat gluten one- I still thought the washed flour seitan had a better flavor.
I thought you might appreciate the side by side because I thought my new easy seitan chicken recipe would be just as good as my washed flour seitan. But nope, while it’s still good, nothing can beat washed flour
