Ingredients
- 2/3 cup uncooked rice (100g). Makes 1-2⁄3 to 2 cups cooked rice (290-320g).
- 1 cup seitan (120g). Begin with 1⁄3 cup (43g) vital wheat gluten.
- 1/2 cup TSP (textured soy protein) (25g)
- 3-2/3 tbsp VegeYeast or nutritional yeast (32g) If using nutritional yeast, see label to achieve 32 grams. You may need more than 3-2/3 tablespoons.
- 1-1/2 tbsp hemp hearts/hemp meal (15g)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (14g)
- 1/4 tsp salt (1g) OR 1-1⁄5 tsp. soy sauce (7.5g)
- 1 tbsp Vegecat (12g)
Instructions
- Rinse rice or soak and change water.
- Cook rice with at least a 2 to 1 ratio of water to rice. Aim for soft, well cooked rice.
- There are a number of ways to make seitan. 1/3 cup of vital wheat gluten needs to be mixed with just over 2 tablespoons of water or homemade veggie broth (made without onions or garlic). Add liquid as needed. Dough pieces can be wrapped and steamed or simmered on the stove top for about an hour. There are lots of YouTube videos that will show you the basics of making seitan. It's okay to add extra nutritional yeast for flavor but do not add extra sodium containing ingredients (salt or soy sauce), garlic, onions, or more than a tablespoon of garbanzo or wheat flour to cut the vital wheat gluten for texture. We highly recommend making more than needed in the recipe. You can freeze the seitan you don't use for later use.
- Add just under 1/2 cup boiling water to TSP and mix to reconstitute. If using large chunks, they may need to be simmered on the stove top. See product directions.
- Mix all ingredients together.
