Thanks for the vid! I just made this, definitely some of the best taste and texture of seitan I've ever had, but it still had the rubbery texture. I did make one adjustment though: I used extra firm tofu (didn't have soft on hand). If you see this comment (or any other seitan wizards/witches in the comments), do you think that's because of the denser tofu content? Did I maybe under-cook it by not steaming enough? What causes rubbery seitan? I'm just trying to understand the principles. Thanks as always Mary!! I know you don't live that seitan life these days but your contribution to the field of seitanism is much appreciated.

While this is a bit late to the party, I wanted to reply as I saw no one else has. I have not made seitan in some time but I recall the rubbery texture decreasing with more kneading. Gaz Oakley has a fantastic seitan video from a few years back that details the entire process and important tips to prevent the dreaded rubber texture. Hope this info is some help to you. Happy eating.

No, you just have to cook it all the way through. Some seitan recipes are meant to be used as a "raw" base to allow for the extra flavours and salt. Like with my beefy needless seitan. But this one is seasoned so you can pretty much eat it fresh out of the steamer.
