Ingredients
1.5 cups vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 cup vegetable broth (cold)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (for the dough)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup soy sauce (for the sauce)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sesame oil for frying
Instructions
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder for the easy seitan teriyaki base.
Step 2: Add the cold vegetable broth and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms, then knead for about 3 minutes to develop the gluten strands.
Step 3: Cut the seitan dough into bite-sized chunks. Steam these chunks for 15 minutes to firm up the texture before frying.
Step 4: While the seitan steams, whisk together the 1/2 cup soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl to create the easy seitan teriyaki sauce.
Step 5: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steamed seitan and sear until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Pour the sauce over the seitan in the skillet. Once the sauce begins to bubble, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the easy seitan teriyaki beautifully.
Notes
Ensure the broth used for the dough is cold; this helps manage the gluten development for a better texture in your easy seitan teriyaki.
