One of my favorite vegetarian restaurants makes this amazing “Chicken” fried seitan dinner that’s so good and makes me think of growing up on a farm. These days, I try to recreate a lot of the recipes that I miss from our travels and eating out, and our homemade seitan is so good that we don’t miss buying it in gourmet vegan shops.
I love being a vegetarian. It fits my lifestyle and it’s what I need to do for my family.
A lot of stores are out of seitan, so here is our recipe for making seitan at home. We always suggest making a big batch, so you can freeze it and have it for later.
Making Seitan isn’t difficult.
In fact, once you have made it a few times, you will find that you no longer have any desire to pay the high prices for it in the trendy vegetarian shops. It’s easy and actually pretty cheap.
Seitan is made from Vital Wheat Gluten, and that can be found in most health food isles at the grocery store.
Seitan has the ability to take on many different tastes with just adding the right ingredients before cooking. But for this recipe, we want to have that “beefy” flavor. So I used a vegetarian beef broth.
