Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup vital wheat gluten flour
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vegetable broth powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 cup water or more if too dry still
  • 1 spray spray olive oil or other type of oil

Instructions

  • Bring 1-2 inches of water in a saucepan with a steamer basket to a boil on the stovetop.
  • Combine all ingredients except water together in a bowl.
  • Add in the water and quickly mix to form a thick dough.
  • Use spray oil to lightly grease the inside of the steamer basket. Then, break the dough into small bite-sized chunks and place in the steamer basket.
  • Cover the pot and let steam for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a frying pan under medium-high. Once steamed, use tongs to remove the seitan bites from the steamer basket and place in the pan.
  • Continue to fry for another 5 minutes, flipping as needed so that each side gets crisp. Once done, you can flavour however you like with different seasonings and sauces!
