Seitan sandwiches, some vegan coffee cake (recipe for that coming soon), orange slices, cucumber slices, and halved grape tomatoes.

It wasn't entirely as planned, but it was good. I made some sandwich rolls based on the hot dog bun recipe at Mary's Test Kitchen, then made some seitan using the recipe at the Buddhist Chef. I was doing this over the weekend as food prep for two different meals and it occurred to me that they might go together. I spread some Vegenaise and yellow mustard on the bread and it was an amazing simple sandwich. It turns out I don't always need to buy my deli meats; I can make them like some kind of wizard.

  1. Whoahh...!!! You made your own buns AND the seitan?? And the coffee cake? I’m totally impressed.
    I tried to make seitan exactly once many years ago and it was a big project and total Epic Fail in so many ways. Then again, i dont eat a lot of seitan anyhow- but this looks so easy that if it was around i would certainly enjoy it! Maybe time i give it another go.

    1. I've had my share of epic seitan failure myself. But this recipe was pretty straightforward and didn't result in a hard block I could't chew. I halved the recipe and wrapped it in foil instead of plastic when I boiled it but otherwise I followed the directions and it was really good.

  2. Ok I'm seriously impressed! All of the homemade elements in this meal are incredible. I can't wait for the coffee cake recipe, I love coffee cake and haven't had it in so long! The homemade buns look so good, I really need to try out bread making. I have been saying I'm going to for so long but I never do!

    1. It's both easy and hard to make bread. It's easier for me than a trip to the store, so that explains part of why I've been making my own a lot lately. But it does require some mental space--you have to at least know you have bread somewhere rising that needs to be poked at periodically--and I think buying your own is also a totally legitimate choice.

    Looking forward to seeing the coffee cake recipe, I am a big fan of coffee cake.
