Kentucky Fried Seitan –
Colonel Sanders would probably not approve – apart from containing no chicken, it has 14, not 11, Herbs and Spices.
Don’t be put off by the number of ingredients – the result is truly worth it.

Seitan
- Coating
- Batter
Instructions
- Blitz the tofu, soy milk, miso paste, yeast extract, tarragon, sage, thyme, onion powder and garlic powder in a food processor until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the gluten yeast, besan and oats – mixing together to form a firm dough – take care to ensure that you pick up all the dry ingredients.
- Turn out the dough and knead and stretch for 10 minutes until it becomes springy. ALTERNATIVELY, Place the wet ingredients into the bowl of a mixer fitted with dough hooks, slowly add the dry mixture whilst the mixer is running and knead for ten minutes.
- Divide the dough into 6 portions and roll out to 1 cm thickness. Place in a steamer and steam for 45 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine the coating ingredients and place on a plate.
- Once the seitan has steamed and is cool enough to handle, make the batter by mixing the besan flour and water.
-
When ready to cook, dip the seitan pieces in the flour, then in the batter, then in the breadcrumb mixture to coat all over.
- Cook the pieces in oil over a medium-high heat until dark and crispy – 3 minutes a side.
-
Serve with coleslaw (see NOTE) and mashed potatoes.
Notes
The coating and batter are for 4 serves - the seitan makes 6 portions (so you'll have 2 portions to use for something else)
