Barbecue Seitan is a vegan meat replacement marinated in a healthy homemade BBQ sauce. Then, it's rolled in an oil-free tortilla with vegetables, kimchi, brown rice, and yum yum sauce, before it's grilled to perfection. This vegan barbecue beef burrito is to die for.

Steps:
- Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, mix broth/water and low sodium soy sauce.
- Add wet mix to dry mix, stir until combined. Using your hands, knead mixture for 2-3 min, until thick dough forms.
- Shape seitan dough into a ball. Tear small pieces (the size of a quarter) off the big ball. The pieces will get bigger during boiling, so don't make them too big!
- Mix together all broth ingredients. Bring to a boil. Add torn-up seitan, bring to a boil again. Reduce the boil to medium, simmer for 30 min, stirring a few times to prevent sticking. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- Once seitan is done boiling, drain the pieces. Put them into a mixing bowl, pour 3/4 of prepared BBQ sauce over them, toss well to cover.
- Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Arrange BBQ-covered seitan on the sheet with about 1 inch between pieces. Bake for 30 min, turning pieces halfway through baking, and basting with the remaining BBQ sauce if the start looking dry.
- Serve with sweet potato fries, or in a hoagie roll with pickles and mustard, or slice up and toss with pasta.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk well until uniform in texture. Taste and adjust sweet/salty/spicy ingredients to your liking.
- Serve with seitan or other dishes that call for BBQ sauce. This sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 week.

VEGAN GRILLED SEITAN IN BARBECUE SAUCE RECIPE
Steps:
- First, be sure to soak your bamboo skewers in water to prevent burning.
- Place seitan in a zip-lock sealable bag or in a shallow pan and coat well with barbecue sauce. Allow to marinate for at least one hour; longer is better.
- Preheat grill to medium-high. Place seitan chunks on the soaked bamboo skewers and baste well with extra sauce. (Depending on your grill, seitan can also be placed directly on well-greased grates.) Grill for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly charred, basting occasionally with extra barbecue sauce.
- Eat your barbecued seitan right off the stick, or, slice leftovers thinly and make sandwiches. Enjoy!

BBQ FLAVORED SEITAN
I wanted to make more a BBQ type seitan after the success of my spicy seitan, so I made a few modifications to my original recipe and came up with this. I also made BBQ sauce for the first time and it turned out pretty good. Unfortunately I didn't really keep track of measurements, so I won't be posting that recipe right away. Also, if you're making this on a large scale (the first time I made this I actually octupled the recipe) you're probably going to need to add more of the liquid ingredients (maybe 1 to 2 cups more of the mixture). You want the seitan to feel similar to a wet sponge. Just like with my other seitan, how long you cook it will effect how hard or soft it is. Personally, I like this kind to be sort of like lunch meat, so I've included the times for making it a nice, soild, meat substitute. If you think you've over cooked it (it gets really browned), don't worry. Let it cool and bake it or fry it up later. The "skin" will soften when it's reheated.

Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.
- Add wet mixture to dry ingredients (I find pouring it along the edges of the dry mixture helpful).
- Mix and knead the dough thoroughly.
- Shape into an 8 inch (or so) loaf.
- Place the loaf in the middle of a sheet of aluminum foil.
- Tightly wrap loaf in foil like a sausage, twisting the ends.
- Steam the wrapped loaf for 45 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Place loaf in pan or on baking sheet and bake for another 45 minutes.
- Take out, unwrap, let cool, and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right seitan. Look for seitan that is firm and has a meaty texture. Avoid seitan that is too soft or mushy.
- Marinate the seitan for at least 30 minutes. This will help the seitan absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Cook the seitan over medium heat. This will help prevent the seitan from becoming tough.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the seitan is cooked through. The internal temperature of the seitan should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the seitan with your favorite barbecue sauce. You can also add other toppings, such as grilled onions, peppers, or mushrooms.
Conclusion:
BBQ flavored seitan is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a main course, a sandwich filling, or a party appetizer, BBQ flavored seitan is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a plant-based meal that is both flavorful and satisfying, give BBQ flavored seitan a try.
