Instructions
 

  • In a blender, blend all the ingredients except the vital wheat gluten. Blend for about 45 seconds until it is a smooth liquid.
  • Then add in the vital wheat gluten and blend for a few seconds until it forms into a ball.
  • Use clean hands to knead the seitan 5 minutes, until it is shiny and forms a ball. If it sticking dust your surface with vital wheat gluten.
  • Divide into 4 pieces. Roll out into a thin 6 to 7 inch log. You can also use a hot dog bun to give you a guide for length. The seitan may take 1 to 2 minutes to roll out.
  • Use a piece of parchment paper to roll up the vegan hot dog up tightly and then wrap it tightly in foil. Twist the ends of the foil to make it like a party popper or piece of candy. If you need a visual please check the youtube video.
  • Steam in a steamer basket for 30 minutes. Then let them cool for 20 minutes before unwrapping.
  • After you unwrap them, you can then cover them with a touch of oil. I like to spray them with spray oil to do this. Grill them for a few minutes or you can crisp them in a pan on the stove.
  • Place in a bun and add any of your favorite toppings. Enjoy.
