In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon tamari, and 2 teaspoon red curry paste. Combine the wet and dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Combine the ingredients and knead for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the dough is elastic. It's a very wet dough, but it's still quite elastic. It should be slightly stretchy and pull back while remaining pliable. Pinch off small pieces of seitan dough, about 1 to 1 1/2 inch in diameter. When cooked, they will swell up. Put everything in an electric pressure cooker.
Stir together 1 1/2 cup vegetable broth, 1 1/2 cup water, and 2 tsp red curry paste in a mixing bowl. Pour the mixture over the nuggets in the pressure cooker. Close the lid and make sure the top knob is turned to the sealing position. On the front of the pot, press the Manual button. Set the button to 4 (meaning 4 minutes). The pressure cooker will make a clicking sound and will begin to build pressure. Building pressure and cooking time will take about 15 minutes. Allow the nuggets to set in the pot. They will continue to cook as the pressure naturally releases. Don't rant.
Go ahead and vent after about an hour. It may have already cooled completely, but vent to ensure that all pressure has been released before opening the lid.
Remove the nuggets from the liquid and place them on a cooling rack to cool. You can eat them right away, add them to a recipe, or store them in the refrigerator overnight. They're even better the next day. You can also put them in the freezer.

In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup vegetable broth, oil, and tamari. Combine the wet and dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Combine the ingredients and knead for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the dough is elastic. It should be stretchy and pull back while remaining pliable. Cut the dough into eight equal pieces. Squeeze and work your fingers around to form a patty about 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
Put everything in an electric pressure cooker. In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups water, 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth, and the tomato sauce, then pour over the seitan cutlets in the pressure cooker. Close the lid, making sure the top knob is in the sealing position. On the front of the pot, press the Manual button. Set the button to 4 (meaning 4 minutes). The pressure cooker will click and begin to build pressure in a few seconds. Building pressure and cooking time will take about 15 minutes. Allow the cutlets to set in the pot. They will continue to cook as the pressure naturally releases. Don't open the vent.
Go ahead and vent after about an hour. It may have already cooled completely, but vent to ensure that all of the pressure has been released before opening the lid.
Remove the cutlets from the liquid and place them on a cooling rack to cool. You can eat them right away, add them to a recipe, or store them in the refrigerator overnight. They are delicious the next day and freeze well.

In a small mixing bowl, combine 14 cup water, tomato sauce, and hot sauce. Mix the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Knead for 2 minutes, or until the dough is elastic. As you knead it, you'll notice it pull back into a rounder shape. This is a firm dough that will not expand as it cooks.
Divide the dough into four equal parts and roll each one into a log shape.
In a saucepan, combine 5 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil. Turn off the heat and place a steamer basket inside the pan. Cover the steamer basket with seitan links. 40 minutes of steaming
Allow the seitan to cool before storing it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 4 months.

As you knead it, you'll notice it pull back into a rounder shape. This is a firm dough that will not expand while cooking.
In a saucepan, combine 5 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil. Place a steamer basket in the pan and reduce the heat to a low simmer.
Slice off irregular pieces with a pastry cutter. You can shape them into a ball as best you can or leave them chunky. You can also steam as a single log and cut into chunks after steaming and cooling.
Steam for 40 minutes.
Remove the seitan to cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 4 months.

In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, and 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp water. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
Knead for 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly elastic. As you knead the dough, it will slightly pull back and become sticky. Form the seitan into a log.
In a 2- to 3-quart slow cooker, combine 1 cup water, the vegetable broth, and the tomato sauce. Place the log in the slow cooker or roll it loosely in cheesecloth and tie each end with cotton string. Because it expands when cooked, don't roll it too tightly. If you don't mind the outside being a little lumpier after cooking, skip the cheesecloth. Turn the slow cooker to low and cover. Cook on low for 6 hours.
Remove the log from the liquid and set it aside to cool. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for 4 months.

Put 1/4 cup tomato sauce, 1/4 cup water, liquid smoke, and 1/2 cup vegetable broth in a small bowl Combine thoroughly.
Fill a well in the center of the dry ingredients with the tomato sauce mixture. Begin kneading after thoroughly mixing. Knead the dough for 1 minute, or until it becomes mildly elastic. The dough will slightly pull back as you knead it, and it will be a little sticky. Fill the slow cooker with the remaining 14 cup tomato sauce, 1 cup vegetable broth, and 3 cups water. Stir.
Tear off small chunks of dough, shape into a round shape, and drop into the slow cooker's liquid. There will be a total of forty-four balls. You can also make seventeen larger balls and cut them after they've been cooked and cooled. Alternatively, cut two logs into desired shapes. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, covered. As they cook, they will expand in size. Check the texture after 4 hours to see if you like it. As they sit in the refrigerator, they will firm up.
Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.

12 cup water, tomato sauce, maple syrup, ketchup, and oil in a separate small bowl Combine thoroughly.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the tomato sauce. Begin to stir. This is put together quickly. Squeeze in one hand and pass it through your fingers about ten times. Begin kneading in the bowl. Although it is a wet mixture, it will begin to become elastic. Knead for 3 minutes to make a softer and more tender breakfast link. The longer you knead it, the softer it becomes. I keep everything in the bowl for kneading. It's a lot easier to clean up.
Pinch off small chunks and quickly roll between the palms of your hands, back and forth. This will result in thirty-two small links. You won't be able to make pretty links, but they'll work fine in any recipe. You could also make fifteen larger links. The larger size would increase the protein content of each link to 15 grams.
Place the slow cooker links in the liquid. Cook on low for 6 hours, covered. As they cook, they will expand in size.
Allow to cool after removing from the slow cooker. Refrigerate for up to 5 days before using. They freeze extremely well, both with and without their liquid.

In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup (31 g) flour and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss in the seitan to coat. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tbsp (30 ml) oil. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seitan is browned.
Set aside after removing from the skillet. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon (15 mL) oil, the mushrooms, celery, and 12 tsp salt. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, on medium heat. The vegetables will soften and lose their colour. Mix in the thyme, nutritional yeast, and the remaining 2 tbsp (16 g) flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes to cook the flour. Scrape any bits from the bottom of the pan and add the reserved seitan, broth, peas, and tamari. Stir everything together and cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If using a double crust, line an 8-inch (20-cm) pie plate with the crust. Filling should be spooned into the crust. (Alternatively, if using only one crust, pour the filling into the pie plate.)
Crimp and seal the dough around the rim of the pie plate. Make a few cuts to allow the steam to escape. (Alternatively, cut out pieces of dough with a cutter and cover the filling decoratively, allowing each piece to overlap.) Place a baking sheet in the oven in case the potpie overcooks, and then place the potpie on top of it. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly.
