Ingredients

• 2 cups Vital wheat gluten
• 0.5 cups Chickpea flour
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried sage
• 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning (vegan)
• 1.25 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Tahini (or any neutral nut butter)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 6 sheets Aluminum foil (for wrapping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your steamer or large pot with a steaming rack to medium heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, dried sage, and poultry seasoning. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: vegetable broth, soy sauce, tahini, and olive oil.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until the dough starts to form.

Step 5

Knead the dough with your hands for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly firm but still pliable. Avoid over-kneading, as it can result in a chewy texture.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal portions if you'd like smaller logs, or keep it as one large log.

Step 7

Shape the dough into a log by rolling and pressing it gently into a cylindrical shape.

Step 8

Wrap the log tightly in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to secure. Repeat for the second portion if divided.

Step 9

Place the wrapped seitan logs into the steamer or pot and steam them for 1 hour and 15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Carefully remove the logs from the steamer and allow them to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before unwrapping.

Step 11

Slice, shred, or cube the seitan log as desired and use it in your favorite recipes. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
