Directions
- 1Combine vital wheat gluten and nutritional yeast in a bowl and mix well to prepare the dry mix.
- 2Blend the beans, seasoning, garlic powder, and water until smooth to prepare the wet mix.
- 3Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, pouring it in little by little until you get a firm, slightly dry dough.
- 4Knead the dough until it becomes elastic and well combined.
- 5Roll the dough into a long strand and tie it into a knot to create a fibrous, “pulled” texture.
- 6Wrap the dough tightly in baking paper, then cover it with two layers of aluminum foil, ensuring it is sealed so no water can get in.
- 7Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the wrapped seitan for 1.5 hours, turning it halfway through (after 45 minutes) to ensure even cooking.
- 8Remove the seitan from the water, unwrap carefully, and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
- 9Pull the seitan apart using your hands or two forks.
- 10Fry the pulled seitan in a pan until golden brown.
