Print Recipe

Savory and protein-rich seitan strips served with a tangy mustard dip. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or meatless main dish.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup vital wheat gluten
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (for simmering)
  • 1/4 cup mustard (Dijon or yellow)
  • 2 tbsp vegan mayo or plant-based yogurt
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together water, soy sauce, olive oil, and liquid smoke.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Shape the dough into a flat log and cut into strips.
  5. Bring vegetable broth to a simmer in a large pot and add the seitan strips. Simmer for 30 minutes, then drain.
  6. While seitan is simmering, make the mustard dip by combining mustard, vegan mayo or plant-based yogurt, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  7. Optional: Lightly pan-fry or bake the seitan strips for a crispier texture.
  8. Serve warm with mustard dip on the side.

Notes

  • Seitan strips can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Adjust mustard dip ingredients to taste—add more syrup for sweetness or more lemon juice for tang.
  • Great for sandwiches or wraps as well.
