Tips:

  • To make the seitan as flavorful as possible, use a flavorful vegetable broth. You can also add herbs and spices to the broth, such as garlic, onion, thyme, or rosemary.
  • When breading the seitan, use a light touch. You don't want to pack the breading on too thick, or it will become greasy and heavy.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the seitan. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the seitan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the seitan will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the seitan immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Breaded seitan is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great source of protein and fiber, and it can be made with a variety of different flavors and textures. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, breaded seitan is a great option.
