Method
In a mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients for the seitan. In a separate, smaller, bowl combine the wet ingredients.
Add the bowl with the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients bowl and bring it all together. This doesn’t take long!
Shape the dough into a rectangular shape roughly 3cm thick. Place the dough on a sheet of greaseproof paper and in steamer for 30 minutes. If you don’t have a steamer, go and buy one. Don’t worry I can wait.
Whilst the dough is steaming, combine the marinade ingredients.
Once steamed and cool to room temperature, slice your bacon and coat it in the marinade. Now, fry it off in a pan to make a textbook vegan bacon sandwich!
You can also leave the marinade off and cut it up and use in quiches, pasta dishes and pizza toppings.
