Hi! Thanks for making the recipe and such a great video. I’ve been watching you for years so this is so cool to see!!! I appreciate all you do and can’t wait to see more ❤️‍🔥🙏

We've made it a bunch of times! Try adding a bit more water to loosen up the gluten. Our first batch was hard to tear and super tough, too. Adding more water helps with that. (We also seasoned our water more to infuse flavor into the seitan itself) FutureLettuce is an internet sensation!

Holy schmoly, I've always wondered if you could cook seitan quickly like this! Gotta try, thanks for showing us Mark and thanks to Future Lettuce too!

I had my parents over for dinner last weekend. They are both meat eaters and dont like much of the vegan meats or cheeses Ive forced them to try in the past. I took a risk and last minute decided to make this real quick for them. I substituted the rice for rice noodles and some steamed veggies, also I bought a premade general tso sauce. But this seitan absolutely BLEW THEM AWAY. I made a double batch and not a single piece of these delicious nuggets was left. This recipe was amazing it went straight into my recipe book thank you soooo much.

Not a vegetarian or vegan but I’m gonna try this to see if my kids can tell the difference. They totally didn’t know the impossible burger wasn’t real meat and were completely surprised. Now when we go to restaurants my son always orders anything impossible. Thanks for the ideas on how to go more meatless without feeling like we’re going meatless

When I was going through a very hard time in my life a few years ago, your videos and joy always brought me out of my sadness. Thank you

[thechrislopes]

I made this and it was good. For the sauce I used sweet chilli, maple syrup, and crushed garlic.

Sorry about all the negative comments lately, just unhappy people trying to make others miserable with them. Love you and your content, thank you for always finding innovative ways to give us yummy food ❤️

Just made this and it IS amazing! It’s the first faux meat I’ve ever made and it came out perfectly! I’ve always wanted to make seitan, but I’m very disabled and was always too worried about running out of stamina to try it. This is such a gift, thank you @FutureLettuce thank you @SauceStache !

Note: being a contrarian, and not having any sauces in the house, I made the dough with curry seasonings and made a quick curry sauce. If you are going to do that, I would recommend not adding the sauce to the seitan until you are ready to serve. I pulled out half of the seitan and the other half I added the sauce to to finish cooking. Those turned into curried dumplings (still awesome!). But all of this rambling to say that this is one fool-proof recipe 😂

I'll always prefer the flavor of washed flour, but this is a perfect example of why gluten is such an amazing staple. Great video, as always.

[debbieporter]

I made this last night with chickpea flour I had no reg flour, it was fantastic. I can't wait to see where you go with it

[Jiraki_the_Wingless]

Your impression of the adamant meat eater is spot on for someone I used to work with. Back when I was active duty, I had a salty old senior chief who was very much like that. He didn't eat any vegetables (except asparagus and potatoes) and was proud of that fact. And not because of allergies or anything, I specifically made sure (this becomes relevant later). He had extremely.. let's call them old fashioned views about meat and what eating or not eating it said about a person. He gave me regular grief for not eating meat, and not really in a playful kind of way. So of course at every opportunity at morale events, pot lucks, pig outs, etc, I'd get him to try whatever I made/brought. Never told him it was meatless, just played gopher when he had me fetch a burger or something. He never once figured it out, and actually claimed my chili was some of the best he'd ever had.

Lazy and quick are magic words for me 😂✨ This is great 💚

[ChrisCGraham]

Just made this and it turned out really well. I did what another commenter said and actually added about 3/4 cup water instead of 1/2 cup and it turned out perfect!!

[gergelyfazekas]

I was a bit sceptical about it not puffing up or being chewy, but I've tried it, and it really turned out great! It really does have a meat-like chew.

[katherinehall]

Someone asked him for measurements, and he said, "1/2 tsp of each spice and about 1/3 cup of sweet chili, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1-2 tsp sesame oil. Add more if needed."

Definitely making this today. Thanks SauceStache!!🥰

I made this for my husband and he loved it!! He said it was great because it wasn't so tough.

[electronraygun]

I just made this! My girlfriend loved it, she was convinced it was beef until I told her it wasn't! I was quite impressed too! Will certainly make this again and experiment with other meals :-)

[mccauleyconor]

I've made this 5 times already! The first time I made it, the kids asked for more, so I had to make it again. Which was no hassle cause it's so quick.
I think the part that's most interesting is that centre. The trick with seitan is to cook for ages and to let it rest.
The pieces are so small that they cook in no time, but also I think it's on the rare side! I've eaten uncooked seitan, it's gross. But slightly undercooked seems to actually work!
