Tried this yesterday/today and damn that turned out so great, despite some screwups on my site! Some things I learned from my first try for other people trying this: 1. Don't be to impatient and tast it right out of the fridge. It will taste like disappointment. Shred it like in the video and then fry it in some oil in a pan until it gets cripy on the outside. That makes it 1000 times better. 2. Make that broth really strong 3. Put some marmite in the broth. Yes, it tastes disgusting on bread, but it contains eneromes amounts of umami. 4. You can use the starch water from the washing for making a really nice thick sauce for the seitan and some rice. The broth in which you coocked it makes a really good sauce base. 5. Really try to stretch it during the braiding, otherwise it will turn out too short and thick and you can't properly knot it. 6. Don't weare your best clothes or use a kitchen apron. The starch water will get everywhere during the washing and makes nasty stains.

Seitan is so easy and so cost effective to make. No need to buy packaged stuff filled with sodium and not-great ingredients. Great to see an easy breakdown for viewers. For those just starting, you can use whatever herbs and spices you have for a broth. No need for soy sauce, tamari or bouillon. It will come out great anyway! Just use salt and whatever you have. I used coffee and black pepper recently and results were intriguing. Tumeric is also great for adding some fun colour. Seitan really is a bit of a blank canvas, and lots of fun to play with not just the flavour and colour, but also the texture. Have fun!!

I’ve made this recipe quite a few times now and it has given me near perfect results every time. A few tips: Be sure to thoroughly knead the dough before resting under water, as this has been the part that makes the chkn much more meat-like. Also, I find it much easier to knead with a 2/1 flour water ratio, with a focus on slightly more flour. Thank you so much to the creator of this video I can’t tell you how helpful it’s been!

Thanks. That's why I made the video, so people could see. Go ahead and try it! The worst thing that can happen is you used a few cents worth of flour and it might be spongy or something.

This looks absolutely amazing! Thank you so much, so glad I found your channel! You are truly gifted, so excited to watch all of your other videos!

Thank you so much for this fantastic walkthrough!! I made my first batch of seitan following along with your video today, you’re a really good teacher and this video was perfect for me as a beginner vegetarian! I added a few dried star anis to my broth along with some miso. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow!!

Hey did you use wheat flour?

This video was an absolute delight to watch -- I very much appreciate how you do not just say "do this step", but also provide the *why* the step is done. For example, I never fully understood why braiding was done ... no other recipe that I've read explained the rationale as fully as you did (they would say "to prevent expansion during cooking", but that was not actually the real reason, which was to align those fibers!) Thank you for an amazingly informative video. I can't wait to try to make seitan again (I made it a long time ago, and it was awful, because I didn't understand the "why's" for each step!)

THat's a great tutorial, i really love how calm and detailed you did it. Glad to see more meat alternatives swapping over towards the western cultures. Saitan is great, i never actually made it myself but i might just try after this. Have been starting to eat more and more plant based. I'll definitely show you to my friends, keep up the great work

YES! I wish I’d had seen this before I dove in and made my first batch today. SO much attention to detail - thank you for making it. (My first go was -ok- but could have done with a much more vigorous wash!)

Thanks. One thing I forgot to mention - simmer very low and do not boil. If you cook it too hot it can puff up and become spongy.

Lots of energy used to make fake meat. Meat is healthy. gluten is not.

@@ThePotThickens I, too, wish I had seen this before I tried the first time! I did not stretch my dough enough, I didn't secure my knots as well, and I must have cooked it too hot, because it was soooo spongy when it was done! I didn't know what I did wrong, and I never tried it again! But now that I have these tips from your excellent video, I am going to give it another go! :D

he is giving me 'chef john' vibes. even with the background music.
