Seitan Chik'n Nuggets



Seitan
1 cup 2 tbsp vital wheat gluten
1/3 cup of oil
1 1/3 cup water
1 tbsp crushed peppercorns
1 tbsp crushed mustard seed
2 tbsp salt
2 teaspoons dehydrated red bell pepper flakes
1 tsp onion powder
Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl. Mix till everything is combined together and let it rest for about 5 minutes. While you are so patiently waiting, set up a pot with about a cup of water in it and bring it to a boil. Wrap you seitan in foil and put it in the pot. Cover and steam for about 35-40 minutes. Check the water level now and then so you don't burn your pot. When you have about ten minutes left preheat your oven to 325. When you are finished steaming bake seitan in the oven for 15 minutes still wrapped in the foil.
Nugget batter
1 1/2 cups of WW pastry flour
2/3 cup almond or hemp milk
2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
pinch of garlic powder
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Cut your seitan into cute little nugget shapes. Fully coat seitan pieces with batter and fry them up until they are nice and golden brown. Enjoy, dipping sauces are endless
