Seitan “Pork”

Seitan “Pork”

Seitan “Pork” made with vital wheat gluten and tofu. This recipe can be used for plant-based pork chops or any other recipe calling for pork.

Ingredients

Yield: 5-7 pork chops Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Seitan “Pork”

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups vital wheat gluten
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 Tbs tapioca starch
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 block extra firm tofu, drained, pressed and crumbled
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup pulp-free orange juice
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbs tahini
  • 2 Tbs white miso paste
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground fennel
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • Olive oil

For Simmering

  • 2 quarts water
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • Salt + black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine the wet ingredients and blend until completely smooth.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in the wet ingredients, and mix with a whisk until just combined, then use your hands to knead it together until a dough forms and there are no remaining dry spots.
  5. On a clean surface/cutting board, pull apart about 200g of dough, rolling, kneading, and shaping into a “pork chop” kind of shape, then rest on the prepared baking sheet. This should yield about 6 pork chops.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil, then place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. When the pork is nearly done baking, in a large stock pot, add the water, soy sauce, and a dash of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  8. Pull the pork out once baked and carefully place it in the boiling stock pot. Reduce heat to a simmer/low boil, cover, and simmer for 20 more minutes.
  9. The pork can be left to cool in the broth after 20 minutes have passed or can be pulled out, and cooled, and excess liquid can be pressed out to cook with the pork chops immediately, or you can drain and store in an airtight container overnight for a firmer texture. Store any prepared pork chops in the refrigerator until ready to cook.

Vegan Mint Chocolate Cake

Vegan Mint Chocolate Cake

Vegan Mint Chocolate Cake that is rich in flavor but refreshing with its delicious minty frosting. You can also try making a cream cheese frosting by substituting the non-dairy butter for a non-dairy cream cheese option.

Ingredients

Time: 45-60 minutes

Vegan Mint Chocolate Cake

  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tbs baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbs vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar

Mint Buttercream Frosting

  • 1/2 cup non-dairy butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbs non-dairy milk
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbs mint extract
  • 2-3 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips, pulsed in a food processor (set aside for decoration)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans by lightly coating with cooking spray or non-dairy butter and dusting with flour.
  2. In a large bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and vanilla. Then, mix in the coffee until well combined. Finally, mix in the apple cider vinegar.
  4. Create a well in the center of the flour bowl, then slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir together with a whisk until the batter is free of lumps.
  5. Once your batter is mixed, evenly distribute it between the two pans. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean once poked in the center of the cake.
  6. While the cake is baking, whip together the non-dairy butter with a mixer until light and fluffy. Then, gradually mix in the vanilla, mint extract, green food coloring, and powdered sugar on the low setting. Get the frosting good and fluffy again. Store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to decorate, but if it sits too long, it’ll need to warm up again because the buttercream will stiffen up.
  7. Allow the cake to cool for 15-20 minutes before decorating, adding a layer of frosting on top of one of the cakes, then add the second cake on top and decorate however you desire.
  8. Decorate the frosted cake with the chopped chocolate chips. Serve and enjoy!
  9. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
