Where do you get that homogenous seitan? When I used to eat it, it was like a cake with grains and stuff in it. Or maybe I’m thinking of something else.

My wife made it, she does it all the time as it’s one of our primary proteins. What you’re describing doesn’t sound like seitan to me.

Does she have a favorite recipe? I've tried making seitan before and it was okay, but didn't look anything like this!

She’s been making it for years and has a lot of different recipes. I think this one is relatively new, I think it was just green chile powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little bit of salt and pepper mixed in with the dry gluten prior to prep. Lately she cooks it in a steamer which somehow gives it a very firm, even texture that works really well for sandwich meats.

That sounds fantastic, thank you!

Here's the batch she whipped up a few days ago, it's pepperoni, "breakfast meat" (sort of like breakfast sausage), and the green chile flavor that I used for the sandwich:

Wow, she's a pro! I'm going to have to get more creative!

Naw, I didn’t use any condiments on the sandwich but it wasn’t dry at all. The seitan and veggies were sautéed in oil so it was a sloppy mess by the time I was halfway through it 😋

Man that looks good. I've never made seitan before but it sounds super easy.
