BBQ Seitain

So, I still have seitan left over from the other day. It would have all been gone by now, but Friday I worked from 12pm until 2am, Saturday I was in NYC from 7am until 12am and Sunday I slept.

Anyways, tonight I had to make a quick dinner/lunch before bringing my brother somewhere, and we didn't have very much food in the house. So seitan and bbq sauce seemed like the best idea. I cooked the seitan in a little vegetable oil to heat it up before adding the bbq sauce, then I stuffed that into a tortilla shell with loads of spinach. Sooo good.

But yeah, I went grocery shopping tonight, so I'm planning on making something better tomorrow.

Seitan 'n' Dumplin's

So, I lost the cord for my camera for a while, but it's back now.. and I can stop taking pictures of food and not doing anything with them.

Rather than recapping the past week or so, I'm just going to dive right into today. My first seitan expirience went amazingly well, and the $6 bag of vital wheat gluten was well worth it. For the seitan I used:
1c. vital wheat gluten
3/4c. water
1/4c.-ish soy sauce
a healthy sprinkle of poultry seasoning and garlic powder
then, 6c. water (it probably would be better with broth, but I didn't have any)
with a good splash of soy sauce, a sliced onion, and a few carrots.

So while that was cooking I made gravy that I didn't use, but I'm still going to keep it.
Okay, when the seitan was done I made the dumplins (which apparently cannot be said without a Southern accent). Those were:
1c. + a little more flour
2tbsp baking powder
2tsp vegetable oil
poultry seasoning
salt
pepper
2/3c. soymilk
They had some sugar in them too, but these are wayyy to sweet, so I'm not including it.

I then cooked said dumplins in the same broth that cooked the seitan, and found that they broke apart and made the broth into gravy. Soo I used that instead of the gravy I made.

All in all, a sucess!
