I make this for meal prep, I love a wrap for lunch or dinner.
1 block firm tofu (don’t press it)
1.5 cups vital wheat gluten
Whatever spices you like, I use veg bullion, miso paste, nooch, garlic & onion powder, smoked paprika & liquid smoke. (You may need to add a little water)
Throw everything but the VWG in the food processor, blend until it’s a smooth paste.
Then add your VWG & process until it forms a dough ball.
Roll it into a log, wrap in foil & steam for 30 mins.
For best results refrigerate overnight, then slice!
Notes:
•Makes 4 good size servings approx 165g in weight each.
•I use the big mountain fava bean tofu, because I like the macros, but any type of firm tofu will work.
•Can be steamed on the stove or instant pot. I used the latter.
•you can change the seasonings to suit your taste. Poultry seasoning is a great option!
•since I use use the fava bean tofu, per serving this is 235 cal and a whopping 51g protein!

I think what I really need to do to up my seitan game is getting a meat slicer.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Do you find that steaming for 30 minutes is enough? I’m new at making seitan at home and the recipe at itdoesnttastelikechicken says steam for an hour or until the internal temperature gets to 160F. I don’t have a thermometer and so I just want to get it straight. Thanks!
Great job looks awesome! So much better making it yourself than buying the packages at the store.
Do you have a deli slicer that you recommend?
Omg why has steaming seitan in my instant pot never crossed my mind?! Can’t wait to dry this, thanks for sharing!
For a moment hope bloomed when I read the recipe’s first ingredient: 1 block firm tofu. Only for it to be immediately dashed with: 1.5 cups vital wheat gluten. It completely sucks that most if not all high protein vegan products involve wheat/gluten. Sigh.
Btw, not throwing any shade on you OP. Your recipe looks amazing.
Oh my gosh this is AMAZING!!!! I love that the protein count is so high
Looks great!
Is this expensive? It looks tasty
Loads of people asking about slicers so figured I’d throw in my 2 cents too! A food processor with a slicing attachment is so underrated. You can control the thickness by the pressure you apply with the lid pushy thing. If you want super thin don’t even apply pressure and just let gravity do it’s thing. Gives you liked paper thin slices. I have the cheesiest model Kenwood makes and it’s amazing. I usually it for slicing everything. It’s replaced my mandolin and I only use my deli slicer for home made bread now. Not an ad I dear, just the most helpful purchase I’ve made for cooking one handed with my velcro babies. The only downside is if you want large slices you’re limited by the size of the chute
