If you would like an oven braised seitan, you can try the one on my blog and this one (http://myveggiekitchen.blogspot.com/2009/10/chicken-y-seitan-cutlets.html) as well. I think you will like the texture of each of them.snugglebunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842159708587178633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183702312843067949.post-23385374942758420722009-11-01T05:24:42.253-08:002009-11-01T05:24:42.253-08:00Seitan is a mystery that's for sure.Seitan is a mystery that's for sure.Vegan In The VIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987192418948736625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183702312843067949.post-3662770448057664742009-10-30T21:21:13.190-07:002009-10-30T21:21:13.190-07:00That makes sense; I bet you're right.That makes sense; I bet you're right.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114977921830686539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183702312843067949.post-24561955214467335542009-10-30T19:34:34.562-07:002009-10-30T19:34:34.562-07:00Rose,

I have gotten a reasonably good texture braising seitan on low in the crockpot. I am going to guess the temperature of the cooking liquid has an impact on the final texture of the seitan (but that is just a guess, for what it is worth).<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183702312843067949.post-22034278334395108602009-10-30T19:26:25.973-07:002009-10-30T19:26:25.973-07:00Yes, I want to actually cook the seitan in the coc...Yes, I want to actually cook the seitan in the coconut milk. <br /><br />Have a great evening. :)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114977921830686539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183702312843067949.post-18112443775302185162009-10-30T19:06:25.620-07:002009-10-30T19:06:25.620-07:00Rose,

I am going to consult the base recipe as soon as I finish this comment.<br /><br />I was confused when you said your seitan looks like bread but the last photo really does. I haven't had that happen so I can't say why it occurs. But, I haven't baked mine dry either, so that may be the answer.<br /><br />Very kind of you to say that I am a seitan expert, but I don't think I am that good. I will say my seitan continues to improve with each batch. I think the steam baking method with breadcrumbs is the best "meat substitute" I have made to date though.<br /><br />I like the idea of braising seitan in a coconut sauce. Are you planning to cook it first and then braise the cooked seitan?<br /><br />Steaming the sausages should resolve the shape issue. Mine puff and form sausage like logs every time, but I always steam or pressure steam them.<br /><br />thanks again for the nice compliment on the seitan,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.com
