Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, blend up the silken tofu, (rinsed and drained) black beans, water, nutritional yeast, taco seasoning and onion powder, until well mixed. This should end up being a similar texture to a bean dip.
  • Move the tofu/bean mixture to a large bowl, and add the vital wheat gluten. Mix by hand with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  • The Seitan dough will be pretty sticky at first. On a silicone mat, the counter or parchment paper, knead the dough for 7 - 10 minutes. It will get much more tough as you knead it, and less sticky. I like to even set a timer, because it can feel like a lifetime.
  • Once the dough is ready, I like to divide into a few sections. This is because my steaming basket is pretty small but if you have a large one, you may not need to. When I do it, I end up with 6 loaf-like shapes.
  • Tightly wrap each life in parchment paper.
  • Tightly wrap each parchment paper-wrapped loaf with aluminum foil. This will keep the seitan from expanding in the steamer basket. It keeps the seitan more dense and keeps it from forming air pockets that push it more to the bread-like texture.
  • In a steaming basket/steamer, cook the seitan for 35 minutes. This may vary, depending on what you're using and how big of hunks you're cooking. The way to tell it's done is that when you cut it in half, it shouldn't be wet and sticky on the inside.
  • Let it rest for about 30 minutes before cutting it or using it!
