We left a few "plain" as a control.<br /><br />The kids ate them! My wife loved them, she enjoyed them more than chicken strips or nuggets (with a little shaping we could easily turn these into chicken nuggets). <br /><br />The next day I coiled some of the strips into patties and ate them like I would a hamburger.<br /><br />Mmmm... <br /><br />Thanks for the good idea!<br /><br /> - <A HREF="http://www.JoeLevi.com" REL="nofollow">www.JoeLevi.com</A>joelevihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18304347714054284004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-74961788087811558732009-04-22T05:05:00.000-06:002009-04-22T05:05:00.000-06:00I was unhappy with the flavor of my homemade seita...I was unhappy with the flavor of my homemade seitan/gluten products until I figure out (by reading recipes online) that you can add seasonings to the gluten itself. It might be hard to do it the way you made it, but it's easy if you make it with "vital wheat gluten" which is a dry "flour" that is just the gluten part of wheat flour. Add seasonings and water, and voila, you have the gluten dough.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-16698285367621467582009-04-21T16:26:00.000-06:002009-04-21T16:26:00.000-06:00If you are gluten intolerant you may want to try t...If you are gluten intolerant you may want to try the same recipe using any one of the "older" grains like spelt, kamut, or quinoa. Many people find they are NOT intolerate or allergic to these older grains (your mileage may vary).<br /><br />Millet, buckwheat, flax seed, and chia seed can also be used as wheat substitutes, I wonder how those would do.<br /><br /> - <A HREF="http://www.JoeLevi.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="Joe Levi">www.JoeLevi.com</A>joelevihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18304347714054284004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-13331831997748722592009-04-18T14:15:00.000-06:002009-04-18T14:15:00.000-06:00Wow! we eat meat ( organic, local etc etc ..) but ...Wow! we eat meat ( organic, local etc etc ..) but I would definately try this as an interesting alternative....<br /><br />as we do try to limit our meat eating as much as we can...Compostwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028585447065282738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-4511204498938505482009-04-18T02:32:00.000-06:002009-04-18T02:32:00.000-06:00Thanks for the great post, I'd never heard of this...Thanks for the great post, I'd never heard of this before!

I make seitan using vital wheat gluten, which people can consider if this way seems overwhelming. Also, using vital wheat gluten makes it much easier to season the seitan than does working from regular wheat flour. <br />Seitan freezes really well. Also, I think the texture is much better after it has cooled, so I usually make a big batch or two, cool competely, freeze the extra and then use it in whatever recipe for which I need it.Lily Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566952862327365978noreply@blogger.com
