Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Ok, now I'm curious about seitan! I've seen the recipe in the files on how to make it from scratch, but also some posts that talk about a premade product (maybe better to try it first without all the work initially?) as I've never had it before. Is it common in whole food stores (fresh? frozen? packaged?). I'd appreciate any and all suggestions Thanks! Jann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Seitan is wheat gluten. It is used as a meat substitute because it is high in protein and has a meaty type texture. It is available in natural food stores either fresh, refrigerated or frozen, flavored or unflavored, depending upon the store and brand.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Yes it sounds like the guy with the horns. Don't let that steer you away from a delicious food though.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Jann, We eat large quantities of this stuff because we love grilling it, and there are 3 hungry folks here (not to mention 3 hungry dogs, but they usually don't get any seitan - they do like it too though...). Anyway, we make it rather than buy it usually. After you make it a couple of times you learn to control the texture/taste, etc. If you just whant to taste it you can get it with the name 'seitan' in many health food stores. It usually is pricey. The same product is called 'gluten' in Asian stores. Gluten in asian stores is a much better deal price wise, but sometimes the cans have msg and more salt and oil that one would like. Sometimes they do work in stir fries though. I do like the asian gluten that comes in a jar (rather than a can) and sometimes has peanuts in it too. I use that one sometimes in some dishes.

I'd much rather learn to make it, however since I've never had it I'd like to try it first to see if I like it (I probably will, LOL! there's not much I DON'T like!). Plus, I'd like to know what the texture/taste is supposed to be like before I attempt making it as well. (I need to find someone near me that makes it I guess!) And thanks for the pointers on the canned and jarred versions, exactly the kind of info from experienced seitan users I was looking for! I'm going to look today!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I found 3 different types of seitan at whole foods, now I have to decide how to make it for my first time! Also, I see lots of recipes for fri chick (that's on my list for next time), is it similar to seitan (or is that the canned version mentioned in a prior post)? I also found the Field Roast brand veg sausages, I got the italian and apple flavors! Jann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Have fun experimenting. It sounds like you are all set! FriChik is a canned product from Worhtington foods. It is different from seitan. Jo-Ann On Behalf Of Wednesday, March 12, 2008 1:56 PM Re: New to Seitan Thanks Jo-Ann, I'm going to look for it to try before I attempt making it!
