Tip
The seitan can be used as is in sandwiches, or however you would use cooked pork. Stir fries, pot pie, curries, burritos, pasta. Slice and bread for a schnitzel.
Add bbq sauce or gravy for awesome pulled pork sandwiches!!
You could also roast the seitan (cover with a bbq or sticky sauce) and serve as you would a pork roast.
Vital Wheat Gluten is available in many health food stores, bread making supply stores, bulk food shops and online. (It may be named Vital wheat gluten, gluten flour, pure gluten)
No other flour will work, the vwg is essential to this recipe.
You may use other beans but kidney beans are quite neutral tasting and help give colour to the seitan. The canning water is not necessary for this recipe, you can replace with water and a little salt.
You may add other flavourings as this recipe is very forgiving.

Hi can you tell me what the Vital Wheat gluten flour is? Could I use something else like Xanthan Gum instead as I am gluten free?
