I just made a video about nutritional yeast and 1 of the things I learned was that Nooch was a natural dough relaxer. So I wanted …
I make seitan every couple weeks…
Ultimate recipe I've found:
3 cups VWG
1 cup nooch
1 cup chickpea flour
1 tbsp chick'n broth
+ seasonings
Simmer it for an hour or two in more chick'n or veg broth
It's unreal.
I was initially excited about the results till I realized cooking the perfect seitan would entail doing math 😬
I really enjoy your comparison videos, is fascinating to see how they turn out, and to see which ones you prefer and which ones Monica likes. Also you know it's a really good idea when other people eagerly start sharing their recipes with you. A veritable think tank. Nice one.
I always use nooch and/or mushroom powder in my seitan, but did not know it was a dough relaxer. Just thought it was there for the umami. Science is so cool!
Two ingredients I have a ton of? Sign me up lol
Out of the whole video, I loved the end the most! Real couple talk…
Vegan Gold. Gold cuz it's so expensive. Great video
That word. I don’t think you know how to pronounce it. Kept groaning every time you said “sei-tahn” — had to shut it off. 🙁
I tried this it was great you don’t get the taste of the vital wheat that you get In regular seitan will use this again
Have you ever experimented to try to get a gyro meat flavor seitan?
I like using mashed potatoes. Makes great shredding "meat". Works well for sausage and "chicken " drummets too. My family loves it. The texture is insane.
So it's going to go into on a YouTube comment, but if you go over to the Seitan Appreciation Society, you'll see what happened when I made too much of your 25% version than I could fit in my steamer. I tried something else with the leftover dough, and it worked like gangbusters. I'd be curious to see if you experiment a bit with it — I have no doubt that you could come up with something even better. I can't get a link to the post since it keeps shunting me to the mobile app, but it's a post from today, and it mentions you.
I worry the over enrichment might be too much vitamins and not good for kidneys? Hasn't some countries banned over enriched foods like marmite and some artificially breakfast cereals?

I put Nutrional yeast in my Seitan all the time as the Dirty Vegan does this for his Doner Kebab mix
1/2 cup of vwg and 1/2 cup of water results in a cookie dough like consistency for me. Tried adding more gluten to get a dough-like consistency but when I steamed it it became one single mass of blown up sponge that rose to the top of the pot.
Now you know why most advanced seitan recipes use something with the VWG, such as chickpea flower, potato flakes or crumbled tofu.
So, being somewhat skeptical, I made a batch (25% nooch) this morning. I was pleasantly surprised at how this turned out. No seasonings, going for the texture test, definitely chicken-nuggety. Biggest surprise? My wife, who doesn't like seitan, liked this. My foody son, actually liked it enough to ask how to make it. The second batch for the day is resting as I type this. You have a winner, here!
This is awesome. Now my question, does the nooch cancel out that icky wheat gluten taste? I really can't stomach that, which is why I love WTF method. No icky weird taste.
Love your experiments! Thank you for sharing this !
Good, I Will try this, I have always thought that the consistency is a bit to doughy for me. This might be it. Thank you👍😃
I can't remember if you've already done it, but I'd be interested to know how chickpeas/chickpea flour affect seitan (aka chickwheat). Many people swear by it, but I'd like to see it get this kind of treatment.
I made this with the 20% nutritional yeast and it was delicious. Made a Veganaise with BBQ sauce to dip in. I thought it was wonderful and so did my husband.
This would be great if I didn’t hate the taste of nutritional yeast
i never just do plain seitan, it's boring, i had so much stuff in it that it become loose and bubbly.
Could the 50% be good for a faux hot dog?
I have watched some videos and the put the Seitan through a meat grinder and changes the texture a lot
This video is pure seitan worship.
👍🏼👊🏼🦖🍺
Thank you for doing this experiment. I will try the 25%. Hoping you didn't put the nuggets into the plastic containers when they were hot. The chemicals in the plastic leach.
Quick question… With the 25% Nutritional Yeast version, are you still doing a 1-1 ratio of liquid to gluten flower. or is it a 1-1 ratio of water to total combined weight of gluten flower/nutritional yeast combined?
I like to steam the seitan cause it adds so much moisture and texture to my seitan and thank you for sharing this wonderful video
