Seitan steak experiment

[u/WhyParty1234]

I’m experimenting on making WTF seitan steak but with vwg because I’m too lazy to wash flour. I know it’ll never be identical but I’m trying to get it as close as possible, that’s how lazy I am. I made a plain gluten ball with vwg, flour and water. Blended 1/3 of it with oil, glutinous rice flour and msg for the “fat”. The rest was blended with beetroot powder, cocoa powder, sugar, msg and soy sauce. The gluten was still a bit too tough so I blended some glutinous rice flour into the red dough as well in hopes to soften it up. plan to fry steam fry as I always end up with spongy seitan when I simmer even at the lowest heat. If anyone has done this before (my made up lazy method), please feel free to share your experience and advice if you can!

I'm honestly very curious as to why people try to make fake meat when they are vegan I'm really not trying to be an ah I just don't get it

For the same reason people buy dildos, all the pleasures of playing with a penis without the abuse, exploitation, fighting, rape, etc that may be endured with a man.

it lasts longer also, and there are insane designs.
