    This doesn’t happen with seitan. Which is cheaper, healthier, and has about double the protein.

      I’ve had some damn good seitan, too.

      There’s a vegan Asian-styled restaurant near me that has awesome general tsao seitan, and also use the same protein for their sesame-, mango-, and orange- sauced variants.

      Another place near me has these barbeque seitan strips (appetizer) with house wasabi mustard.

      God I’m hungry now.

        I only recently discovered that roasted sesame is the best thing in the fucking world. If it’s not roasted right it’s nothing, and the roasted oil is meh.

        Wtf? Every omni I fed seitan said they couldn’t tell the difference to chicken.

        Tofu is disgusting. Seitan is amazing.

        Try seasoning it. And batter it and deep fry it. It’s indistinguishable from fried chicken if you do it right.

          I’ve always felt the opposite. I love tofu, and have a zillion recipes for it. But seitan still disgusts me. No matter how I try to prepare it, I’ve always been disappointed.
