Quiver0f10 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I am planning to try it this week and I hope someone has some recipes to share or helpful tips. This is the one I was going to try: http://www.vrg.org/recipes/vjseitan.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin in Tx Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I did about 30 years ago :). I don't mean to discourage you... your experience may be very different... but I found it difficult (in the sense that it took a lot of time, not that it was very hard), and if memory serves, I didn't like how much waste was involved... it seemed like too much stuff went down the drain. Good luck at your attempt, though. I could have been doing something wrong. I only tried it a few times then decided it wasn't worth it. That was back in the days we ate TVP (affectionately known in my home as kibbles and bits :)). I decided the store bought stuff was worth the cost. Kinda like the time I tried to make my own tofu. GAH!! Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Dad Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks, folks! This is one of those things we'll try and see how it goes. Robin, I'm impressed that you even tried to make tofu. That's way more ambitious than we are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay in Cal Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I tried once years ago, and it didn't work out as nicely as store-bought seitan. I'd be interested in figuring out a cost comparison, since flour is going up in cost and seitan itself is always pricey... but several of my favorite holiday recipes use seitan in quantity. Please post how yours works out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
