I find it easier to blanch the tomatoes for a minute and peel the skins off before making the sauce. It’s much faster to run through the mill after cooking them down.

I think Westerners and it's production industries should respect the fact that it's called seitan not vegan or plant-based chicken. The ancient Buddhist used it as vegetarian meat. That's why it's majorly seen as a vegan meal. It was never called vegan chicken or plant-based chicken for goodness sake. Stop washing up ancient history.

Of course I call it seitan in the title and all throughout the video. But people new to it don’t know the word yet. They are searching for vegan chicken. Once here they get educated on what seitan is.

Yes, there are a variety of ways to season the gluten. If you are going for more beef like meets (brisket, etc.) then seasoning the gluten before cooking is best. For the yeasted versions, this is a traditional Chinese seitan that is typically puffy and spongy. The gluten is often deep fried in those recipes.

Just tried this after thinking about it for like 3 years lol - flavours were great and process was simple to follow, I just messed up a bit on the braiding and knotting process. Texture was very tofu-like in my version; I did get used to it, but think I'll keep at it to try and get a meatier and less chewy texture next time.
@ThePotThickens24 күн бұрын
Thanks for trying. When you say chewy, do you mean a bit rubbery? I find that Lehrer is a fine line between washing too little, and too much. If you wash out all traces of starch, you get a rubber band. If you leave too much starch in, it is too soft and not meaty. I wash until the water that weeps out of the dough still has a sight cloudiness but there are no white clumps of starch left. Practice to find your sweet spot.

Because i read that you still read comments, i just wanted you to know i rarely use youtube because of the commercials, sponsored rubbish and nonsense instead of informative videos. Your video is an absolute opposite of that. I am not a vegan but a meat lover, i like to experiment though, especially that i have a vegetarian friend that i love to surprise with some new tastes. This is exactly what i was looking for, since the ready seitan is like 15x more expensive than flour and so extremelly easy to make with THIS video. Thank you, have a nice day and a good life, somebody will make a vegetarian friend happy with some absurd pulled pork type sandwitches.

Commenting on an old video, I know. YT decided to show me this today, for which I am grateful. I'm making this pronto. Think I will start it tonight and continue with it tomorrow. Your presentation has what my typical vital wheat gluten has been missing: that end result texture. Sometimes mine just tasted like bread. Yuck. So I got away from making it. This looks amazing. I'm really stoked to give it a whirl. You are a gem of a find :)
@ThePotThickensАй бұрын
Thanks so much. A couple of comments. The amount of water I used to make the dough is probably too high. It was very dry the day I made this. So, add only part of the water to see how hydrated your dough is before adding more. Second, I wasn't very explicit in the video. You do not want to boil the seitan. Simmer it very low and gently. If it boils, the water inside the seitan will form steam, get trapped and puff it up to make a spongy texture.
@CMarie404Ай бұрын
@@ThePotThickens Thank you greatly for the additional information. I added it to my notes. Good point on making sure to simmer very low. I have definitely in the past had too high of heat for too long-- again weird bread vibe to it.

An absolutely perfect walk through - I had to leave a comment after coming back to this video so many times. I’ve made this recipe quite a few times now and it has given me near perfect results every time. A few tips: Be sure to thoroughly knead the dough before resting under water, as this has been the part that makes the chkn much more meat-like. Also, I find it much easier to knead with a 2/1 flour water ratio, with a focus on slightly more flour. Thank you so much to the creator of this video I can’t tell you how helpful it’s been!
@ThePotThickensАй бұрын
Thanks so much. I'm glad it was helpful for you. Yes, the water ratio on the day I filmed was probably too high. It was a very dry day and my flour used more water than usual. I recommend adding part of the water first and then adding just what you need to get a good dough.
