Juicy Plant-Based Seitan: The Perfect Vegan Chicken or Pork Alternative

    I'm not sure what I did wrong....but it looked like meatloaf....not pork, not chicken; infact, I passed it off as "meatloaf" for dinner. The flavoring and texture was WONDERFUL! I think that to achieve a "chicken or pork" flavor I would use water. Steaming took longer than 30 minutes (double stacked basket steamer) 45 minutes then switch the position of the baskets for another 45 minutes. I will make this again; it had by far the best taste and texture of all the different seitan recipes that I have tried so far.

    Steamed White Seitan (Fake Chicken or Pork), Steamed white seitan from Viva vegan Terry Hope Romero To be used in place of chicken or pork style dishes I absolutely love this, feeling a bit saucy? Marinate in Reggae reggae sauce before cooking I cheat at this recipe and use my kenwood chef dough hooks to knead for me, I’m not sure what I did wrong but it looked like meatloaf not pork, not chicken; infact, I passed it off as meatloaf for dinner The flavoring and texture was WONDERFUL! I think that to achieve a chicken or pork flavor I would use water Steaming took longer than 30 minutes (double stacked basket steamer) 45 minutes then switch the position of the baskets for another 45 minutes I will make this again; it had by far the best taste and texture of all the different seitan recipes that I have tried so far , I really like using this recipe for a base in other recipes It’s so much more flavorful than a basic seitan recipe so it accommodates my omnivorous friends too When I make tacos I start with this, and when the loaves are done I slice them into strips and grill them again with onions and peppers Yum Also goes good on sandwiches Pretty much anything And takes sauce well Just be sure to not add extra liquid or the loaves don’t bind together properly
