Servings 10 sandwiches worth of seitan

Ingredients
  

For the seitan:

  • 3 cups vital wheat gluten
  • 2 Tbsp chickpea flour
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1.5 cups cold water
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar

For the au jus:

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • pinch of black pepper or two

For the sandwich:

  • vegan sliced provolone Daiya and Follow Your Heart both make these. or cheese sauce (optional)
  • small rolls

Instructions
 

  • First, get your steaming mechanism ready.
  • Add all the seitan ingredients - excluding the gluten, chickpea flour, and nutritional yeast - to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together your gluten, chickpea flour, and nutritional yeast. Make a well in the center of your mixture and pour in your wet ingredients.
  • Mix with a large wooden spoon until it forms a ball. If it doesn't come together easily, you may want to add a bit more gluten - 1 Tbsp at a time. Then, get your hands in there and knead for 2-3 minutes. Form it into a loaf and wrap in tin foil.
  • Steam the seitan for 45 minutes.
  • Allow your seitan to cool as much possible. Then, slice thinly and simmer in au jus for 5-10 minutes before serving on a fresh roll with or without a slice of vegan cheese. Enjoy!
