Instructions
- FOR THE SEITAN
- In a large bowl, whisk the 2 cups vital wheat gluten with the 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon chicken seasoning until they’re completely combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk the 1 cup tofu, ½ cup water, 1 tablespoon no chicken bouillon paste, and 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce until the tofu breaks down into small pieces.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and when it forms a ball.
- On a clean flat surface dusted with vital wheat gluten, knead the dough for 1 minute then roll or press into a ½ inch thick circle. The dough will keep shrinking, just continue to press it back. If the dough tears, press it back together.
- Using a sharp paring knife, cut out the chicken cutlets. You can decide on how small or large you want them to be.
- Place a steaming basket in a large pot and fill with water until the water is just below the basket. You don’t want water to touch the cutlets. Bring the water to a boil.
- Spray a light coating of oil on the basket to prevent the cutlets from sticking and place the cutlets on the basket. If you need to layer the cutlets, spray a light coating of oil on the bottom layer so they don’t stick together.
- Reduce the water to a simmer, cover the pot, and steam for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cutlets from the pot and refrigerate for at least an hour. This will let the seitan develop a better texture.
- FOR THE BBQ SAUCE
- Put all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk until completely combined. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer and simmer for 20 minutes.
- TO MAKE THE PULLED BBQ
- Slice 3chicken cutlets into thin strips or use a fork and pull into shreds.
- Place the vegan chicken in a large saucepan and cover with the BBQ sauce. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a low simmer for approximately 30 minutes.
- Pile on a bun and top with slivered cabbage or slaw.
- FOR THE SLOW COOKER
- In a medium bowl, whisk the BBQ sauce ingredients together until fully combined.
- Put the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce in the slow cooker and stir until the sauce covers the chicken.
- Set the slow cooker on the lowest setting and cook for at least 45 minutes.
- Enjoy!
