Vegan Hot Dogs with Roasted Vegetables Recipe
Ever fancied making your own vegan hot dogs? Well you can with this easy to make vegan hot dogs with roasted vegetables recipes using seitan.
Seitan, also known as vegan meat, wheat meat, or gluten meat, is a perfect vegan meat-alternative. With vital wheat gluten and a few pantry staples, it’s incredibly easy to make!
Once you make a dough, it should be poached to get a chewy meat texture that can be used for so many dishes. It can be flavoured in a variety of ways. For instance, you can simmer the dough with fresh or dried herbs, soy sauce, ginger, or seaweed.
Due to its neutral flavour and great texture, you can experiment with the flavours and shapes of your seitan. You can use vegan poultry seasoning to make a “chicken” flavoured seitan, or vegan BBQ sauce, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper for a “sausage” flavour. Boom, vegan sausage!
