this woman is absolutely crazy.. guys I made this recipe for my family and they said it was the best chicken they ever had in their life not knowing that it was plant base this is the best recipe everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. I've used this to make Kabab I've use this to make Chinese stir-fried chicken and vegetable I've used this to make tortillas stuff with "chicken"... three times the amount of protein that would be in real chicken minus the fat what more can you ask for (oh yeah and of course at a fraction of the price of real meat 😊😊😊) Jana for president I just loooooovvveeee your recipes

I'm so glad I found your channel the other day - my mind is racing about which recipe to try first. I think it will be this one because I needed an idea for dinner tonight and I have all of the ingredients - score! I don't understand why people freak out when you touch your food. I agree you need to get a feel for what you are making. I learned how to make tortillas when I was 9 and my mom made me work the dough with my hands. When your hands are clean there's nothing to worry about! I love listening to your accent.

I think real cooks use their clean hands, they’re the best tool we have for many things!

Another fun project for the w/e. This channel is never a disappointment with so many tips from practical experience.

I've made this recipe so many times so thankful for your KZread channel everyone loves this recipe 😋 ❤

Jana, you said it so eloquently. I watched a basic video about making a tofurkey and so many people were making horrible comments about how vegans shouldn't be eating these faux meats because it defeats the purpose of being vegan. We do it because we can, because it's creative and so much fun. Also, these recipes help ease transition from a non vegan or veg diet. And the greatest part is no animals are harmed while having a blast in the kitchen experimenting.

Thank you Chef Jana! This recipe is absolutely fantastic. I didn't have chickpeas so I used a can of red kidney beans instead, to see if I could make a vegan 'beef'. Much to my amazement, it worked fabulously! It looks exactly the right colour for cooked beef! After shredding it, I made an Asian stir fry with it, sautéing it with ginger, garlic, sesame oil and soy sauce + sriracha... my husband thought it tasted fantastic and would easily pass for beef. (I kneaded each ball for at least 6 minutes since I was doing it by hand. Great texture and very convincing looking 'beef' shreds). Can't wait to try with chickpeas for 'chicken' next! Thank you so much for this fantastic method!

Oh so good. Another great recipe that is so versatile. I can't wait to try this one. Its definitely a keeper. Thank you. 💕 😊 💓

I know, right, seitan can be tricky sometimes, for sure. Let me know your thoughts when you make this but I think you'll love it! :)

Hi Chef Jana.. I made the meat seitan its in my fridge..saw it yesterday on your utub channel and made it. It came out well.. just tweaked it a bit by adding beetroot water to the vegetable broth. Due to the variable moisture in the flour sometimes more water is needed.. The cooking time also increased, since i wanted it to be nice and soft.. Will be getting all ingredients and going to try this chicken seitan recipe! Love your chanel! 🥇Im vegetarian from South Africa..

Thank you, I feel this simplified the process of seitan, every other recipe with the broth and vague instructions has not been as helpful. I also love that you used a stick blender and not an expensive blender. I cannot possibly afford expensive equipment, but I feel every other vegan channel I watch contain expensive equipment that’s puts me off from trying with my cheaper stuff. 🙂

I will soon make this again, being a bit more careful about the seasoning. You made me very happy Jana!

Great job, Andrea!

I am in the same seitan group Lacey is in. Lacey from avocadosandales. There are a lot of seitan geniuses in the group, and there are a lot of experimenters as well. Someone in the group made Lacey’s recipe, and used titanium dioxide. That turned the seitan white so it looked more like chicken. Also, I don’t have elevated taste buds, but, when I used a particular vwg, the gluten taste was overwhelming, and I even used tablespoonfuls of vinegar,and I could still taste the gluten. So, I changed the vwg brand, and it made a world of difference.

Yes, cooking with seitan is a whole lot of sorcery and chemistry, its my favorite food to make actually! I have used the white food coloring you've mentioned mixed with red and yellow to make fake lobster meat, it looked amazing! Perhaps I will post it here if you guys want it, I will be posting crab meat very soon!

Thanks so much for developing this recipe to share with us! When you buy it ready made it's so expensive and you get such a little amount. I'll be making this soon. I also make my own mushroom powder, but I make it from any leftover uncooked mushrooms I have left over. I leave the mushrooms open in the fridge until they dehydrate and then I process them in the mini blender. Very cheap and easy to do. I put up a video on my channel about it.

Chef Jana, I’ve tried making wheat gluten chicken many many times. The texture never comes out anything other than a ball of dough. I use an instant pot on high for 2 hours. My uncooked dough looks plenty stringy and super sticky. Any advice on what I’m doing wrong?

Also, can you simmer this in a stock with the lid on? What does this method do differently to steaming?

If you steam it in the Instant Pot, how long would you do it for? I imagine it would overcook, if you steam for the same amount.

Thank you for this recipe. You've made it so doable. I know someone who cannot have chickpeas. What would you suggest as a good substitute for chickpeas in this recipe.

@ChefJana

I made a batch of this! Best seitan ever I think...must be the chick peas!! I would however add more flavour as these were quite bland. Not sure..maybe more miso? Add some salt? some veg bouillon? I wonder if adding vegan chicken soup mix would help. Anyways....All of you, go try this, using the food processor was the TICKET and also the steaming, as I used to simmer in a broth. It shredded very well. When it was cool, thats what I did, shredded it all and then divided it into portions in baggies and froze it...Can't say enough about this!! Thank you Jana!!

@ChefJana

Yes, in my opinion, the mixture was supposed to be blend so you can add the kind of flavors you prefer when cooking with it. From my experience, adding salt sometimes made the end result a bit too salty especially of I make spicy and hot food such as tinga or Thai basil chicken, the hotness increases the salt in the food. It is always nice to keep in mind that, it is always easier to add salt other than removing it from a recipe. But if you want to add flavors and more salt to your seitan, just go for it! :) And I think the chicken soup base mix is a brilliant idea ;)
