BBQ Seitan Sandwich

This BBQ Seitan Sandwich is a deliciously smoky and savory delight, perfect for outdoor gatherings or a cozy meal at home. The tender seitan, infused with rich BBQ flavors, is topped with crunchy coleslaw and served on a toasted bun for a satisfying bite.

Ingredients

• Seitan - 200 grams
• BBQ sauce - 100 ml
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2 pieces
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Red cabbage - 100 grams, shredded
• Carrot - 1 medium, grated
• Vegan mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, mix the shredded red cabbage, grated carrot, vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the coleslaw. Set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Slice the seitan into thin strips and add to the pan, cooking for about 5 minutes until slightly browned.
3. Pour the BBQ sauce over the seitan and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and caramelize slightly.
4. While the seitan is cooking, toast the whole wheat burger buns in a separate pan or under a broiler until golden brown.
5. To assemble the sandwich, place a generous amount of the BBQ seitan on the bottom half of each toasted bun, then top with a scoop of coleslaw. Add the top bun and serve immediately.
