Ingredients
  

  • 120 g vital wheat gluten*
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika powder* pimenton de la vera
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon 5 spice powder*
  • 160 ml lukewarm water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon shiro miso paste*
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 2-3 tablespoons spicy peanut sauce for glazing

Garnishing

  • cilantro and lime wedges
  • pink pickled onions see blogpost

Instructions
 

  • First, gather all your ingredients and prepare them in the right amounts. That makes it so much easier and more fun and you're less likely to forget anything. 
  • Mix vital wheat gluten and spices well. Then mix water, soy sauce, liquid smoke and miso well in a separate bowl.
  • Combine dry and liquid ingredients and knead into a soft dough for about a minute, then put it aside for about five minutes.
  • Knead again and tear into little pieces, about hazelnut sized, then wrap it tightly in parchment paper. I use one sheet cut in halves and wrap half of the seitan in each of them. This is the way it works best for me. If not wrapped, the seitan has too much room to expand and can get spongy, and if wrapped all in just one sheet, the middle pieces take too long to cook and become too chewy. That also happens when the pieces are too big.
  • Fill about 400 ml water into the instant pot, set the seitan packages into the steamer basket, close the lid and the valve, press "pressure cook" and steam for 20 minutes. After that, wait for another 10 minutes before opening.
  • Take the seitan out, let it cool off for a moment, pull the pieces apart and roast them golden brown in a pan. Add a little peanut sauce to glaze them. Then put them on skewers and serve with the sauce.
  • Serve with more peanut sauce and garnish them with lime, pink onions and cilantro.
