Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk the 2 cups vital wheat gluten with the 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp chicken seasoning until they're completely combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk the 1 cup tofu, ½ cup water, 1 tbsp no chicken bouillon paste, and 1 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce until the tofu breaks down into small pieces.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and when it forms a ball.
- On a clean flat surface dusted with vital wheat gluten, knead the dough for 1 minute then roll or press into a ½ inch thick circle. The dough will keep shrinking, just continue to press it back. If the dough tears, press it back together.
- Using a sharp paring knife, cut out the chicken cutlets. You can decide on how small or large you want them to be.
- Place a steaming basket in a large pot and fill with water until the water is just below the basket. You don't want water to touch the cutlets. Bring the water to a boil.
- Spray a light coating of oil on the basket to prevent the cutlets from sticking and place the cutlets on the basket. If you need to layer the cutlets, spray a light coating of oil on the bottom layer so they don't stick together.
- Reduce the water to a simmer, cover the pot, and steam for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cutlets from the pot and refrigerate for at least an hour. This will let the seitan develop a better texture.
- TO GRILL THE VEGAN CHIK'N BREASTS
- Brush or spray a light coating of vegetable oil on both sides and grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they're heated through.
- Layer on our homemade BBQ sauce for added flavor.
- Enjoy!

SEITAN CHICKEN
Store-bought seitan is convenient, but it's easy to make your own! Most of the cooking time is hands-off while you wait for it to steam. Use this seitan chicken anywhere that animal-based chicken would go. Slice it into sandwiches, add it to soups, or put it in your pot pie.Makes 1 pound of seitan

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast flakes, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, onion powder, granulated garlic, salt, and a dash of pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup of water with 1/4 teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon no chicken base. Stir with a fork until it dissolves. (If you'd rather, you can replace the water & bouillon with vegetable broth instead.)
- Create a well in the center of the dry mixture. Add water & bouillon mixture, tamari, and extra virgin olive oil. Combine by stirring. Then once it becomes a dough, start using your hands to knead the dough and combine everything, making sure to get any dry flour from the sides of the bowl. (You don't need to knead the dough a lot. Just enough so that it's uniform with no flour-y spots.) Form the dough into a loaf.The dough should feel moist to the touch. If it seems flour-y or dry at all, add an additional Tablespoon or two of water. Incorporate it with the dough.
- Run a tea towel or cheesecloth under water. Wring it out with your hands until it's just damp. Then loosely wrap the dampened towel or cheesecloth around the loaf like a gift. Make sure it's not too tightly wrapped. You want it to have room to expand as it cooks.
- Put a couple of inches of water into a steamer pot with basket. Bring to a boil. Put the wrapped loaf into the basket. Cover with a lid. Steam for 40 minutes.Be sure to watch that the pot doesn't cook off all of the water. You want enough water that it will keep steaming for the full amount of time, but not so much that the water touches & boils the seitan. Once the water is at a boil, you can lower the heat to medium, and it will keep steaming the whole time. (If you don't see steam pouring out the top, turn it up. If the water looks too low, add more.)
- When the seitan is done, it will be firm and bouncy to the touch. Carefully remove it from the steamer basket, unwrap it from the towel/cheesecloth, and set it aside on a plate to cool slightly. You can use the seitan chicken right away, or put it in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will continue to firm as it cools.

Steps:
- Add about an inch of water to a pot with a steamer basket and bring to a light boil.
- In the meantime, whisk together the vital wheat gluten, flour, vegetable broth powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in the water and mix to form a ball of dough. Lightly grease the steamer basket, then tear off bite-sized pieces of the seitan dough and place them in a single layer in the steamer basket. Cover, and steam the seitan for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, in a small bowl or a measuring glass, mix together the Thai sweet chili sauce, hoisin, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside. (See notes for other sauce options).
- When the seitan is done steaming, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan. Use tongs to remove the seitan bites from the steamer basket, and place them into the hot oil in the pan. Be careful as it may splatter. Cook the seitan bites a few minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the heat and add the sauce and toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired and serve hot.

BASIC SEITAN - CHICKEN FLAVOR
I have been making seitan quite a bit lately, and have been trying various cooking methods (baking, steaming and now simmering). One of the more difficult methods as far as consistancy goes, (so I've read), is simmered seitan. The following recipe I found in La Dolce Vegan cookbook, and it sounded so simple and mistake proof, I had to try it. I have now conquered my fear of simering seitan in broth!! Recipe can be doubled, and the pieces can be cut into nuggets, strips or cutlet sized pieces.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the wheat gluten and water until it becomes elastic. Knead dough anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes.
- Cut into you desired shapes and sizes.
- In a medium sauce plan, bring all of the broth ingredient to a boil.
- Add prepared seitan into broth.
- Reduce heat and cover with lid.
- Let simmer for 50-60 minutes stirring every 10 minutes, until MOST but not all of the broth has reduced completely, this can take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.
- Use chicken flavored seitan immediately in your dish of choice or store in the refrigerator for up to 6 days, or the freezer for up to 6 months. If you use the seitan imemdiately after simmering, it will seem quite soft and tender. If you allow it to cool and then use it in a dish, it will have a bit more texture to it.
HOW TO MAKE SEITAN (BEEF FLAVOR)
I have purchased packages of Seitan at the health food store, but have always wondered how to make it myself. I found a great recipe from Vegan Lunch Cast and decided to try it. It is simmering in the pot at the moment, so I don't know how it tastes, but I'll bet it's better then store bought.

Steps:
- Combine the dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. I used my Kitchen Aid and it worked perfectly.
- Using the paddle attachment on the mixer slowly combine the dry ingredients.
- In a smaller bowl combine the wet ingredients and mix well with a whisk.
- Stop the stand mixer and add the wet ingredients to the dry all at once and slowly incorporate the wet into the dry.
- I added about 4 more tablespoons of spelt flour to the mix as I thought it was too wet. Mix for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes turn the dough out onto a cutting board and form it into a loaf shape and let it sit until broth comes to a boil. Turn the heat down to low at this point.
- Cut the loaf into 6 equal pieces and lower each one gently into the simmering broth and let it simmer covered for about 1 hour. Remember DO NOT LET THIS BOIL! It will create holes in your Seitan.
- The Seitan will be spongy and holes will make it even more so. You want to avoid that.
- After the hour is up remove the Seitan from the pot and place on a dish to cool. If you have room in the fridge this would be a good place to cool it down.
- Remember, it has to be thoroughly cooled before its ready. Don't be temped to dig in until it's cold.
- You can use this immediately, or store it in it's broth in the fridge for about 5 days. You can even put the big chunks in a zip lock bag and freeze.
- The Seitan can be used in place of any meat product, you can even grind it in the food processor and use it for burger if you wish.
- Another way to use this is to take a few big pieces and dip in flour, soy milk and bread crumbs and fry or bake it, then top with your favorite gravy.
- Bon Appetit!
