Introduction
I started with my basic seitan recipe; tweaked it somewhat, and came up with this. Now, my little love-of-my-life isn't too very hot on seitan (and, yaki-fu? Not in the LEAST!) but she stopped, mid-bite, on this one, and looked at me with "I-love-you" eyes. Yeah, they're THAT good.

Ingredients
-
Vital wheat gluten, 8 ounces
Paprika, 3 tbsp
Pepper, black, coarse grind 1 tbsp
Salt, 1 tsp
Dried Onion Flakes, 2 tbsp
Garlic powder, or preferably, flakes, dry 1 tsp
Basil, 2 tsp
Nutritional Yeast 4 Tbs
Pepper, red crushed or cayenne, 2 tsp
Water, tap, 16 oz
Olive Oil, 1 tbsp
Directions
Take all dried ingredients and place in food processor; pulse until blended. Add water and oil and process until well-mixed. Divide into roughly 4-ounce portions. Roll out dough into a long-ish tube...about the size of a hot dog bun. Wrap in parchment paper; somewhat tightly, as far as the circumference, but leave some slack on the ends. Tie both ends with string (or, dental floss...that's what I use.) Place in a steamer; I use my old favorite bamboo steamer and put some in the first basket, the rest in the top basket. Steam for 35 minutes, or until the internal temp reaches 200. Not that there's anything in seitan that'll make you sick if it's not cooked, but, you DO want it to be cooked, no? Watch your water level, or these'll end up SMOKED. Not pretty. I mean, it stinks when you boil a pan dry, huh?

Ya KNOW? Seitan is really a versatile and useful food. I find myself CRAVING less, when I eat seitan; a NORMAL PORTION seems to satisfy my hunger, and KEEP me satisfied, WAY longer than the usual CRAP we've been conditioned to eat. Have you tried LEAVENED seitan? (a/k/a sukiyaki fu, or yaki fu.)
