Lovely blog you have.. that seitan looks too real.. (I am not a seitan fan at all, but I do make it for my son)..

The ham style seitan was steamed then pan fried..I used tomato paste and liquid smoke.. I just threw it together..

Love your previous post with the Bin soup.. that sounds like the majority of my meals!

This is awesome! I too am trying to figure out how to make my own seitan. ( The store bought is just so pricey for the little quantity)
But I’m trying to find that oh-so perfect texture..

I’m absolutely fascinated by seitan, too. I’m my favorite protein. I’ve never even heard of that folding method! I’m definitely going to try that.

One thing I’ve learned is that the recipes vary so much because people’s tastes vary so much. For example, I can’t handle even slightly undercooked seitan. To me, it’s slimy.

If you try that panfry thing, it helps the cutlets (or whatever) retain their shape a little. Not so much shrinkage and it makes the texture a little meatier, I think.

I’m looking forward to your experiments!

I love fake meat. Even now that I’m back to eating real meat, I would say no to flesh for a month for a little bit of the curry flavoured fake stuff. It’s truly a culinary miracle. I’ve never been so bold as to try, but if you can create it, I think it would be a wonderful miracle.

Mmmm… I’ve just never been that keen on seitan, always rather gluteny tasting to me, no matter how much spice and seasoning I add to it. The cooking method must have something to do with it so I’ll be very interested to see what your findings are!

I really love your blog here. Very interesting, and original stuff. I also poked around whixey.com a bit, and really liked the comic strips. Are those yours? Either way, yeah, great blog going here.

Okay that pigeon mock meat things looks so real.I have been staring at it for a good minute and it terrifies me. I can almost taste the “gameyness” for lack of better word.

Making own seitan terrifies me. Good luck to you tho, I am sure the Vegan Kitchen gods will appease you.

Wish I could help, am only useful as food taster;)
