INGREDIENTS
Wet
- ¾ cup of hot water, add a little bit more if needed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable broth powder, or 1 cube
- 1 ½ tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, can omit
Dry
- 180 g vital wheat gluten
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon curry powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- Pinch of black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Sauce on top
- ⅓ cup bbq sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 355°F.
- In a bowl, add hot water and dissolve the vegetable broth powder. Add soy sauce, oil, BBQ sauce (1 tbsp) and liquid smoke (the latter can be omitted without problem, it is just to give it a smoky flavor). Mix the ingredients and reserve.
- In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients: vital wheat gluten and seasonings.
- Add the wet mix to the gluten and combine with a wooden spoon.
- Before you finish integrating the wet with the dry, use your hands and knead for a couple of minutes, just until you get a homogeneous dough. The consistency should be a little "lumpy", not so uniform or smooth.
- Transfer the dough to a oven-proof pan with parchment paper (so that it does not stick to the pan) or a glass container, and spread it little by little pressing with your hands. It should look like a thick steak.
- Add the BBQ sauce (⅓ cup) on top of the dough and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and slice the seitan into diagonal strips. Serve hot.
