Teriyaki Seitan Skewers


  • Author: Stephanie Dreyer
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 20 skewers 1x
  • Diet: Vegan

Description

Tender, meaty bites are perfectly caramelized with a rich teriyaki glaze. It’s a mouthwatering fusion of tasty and sweet flavors to tantalize your taste buds.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup tamari, shoyu or soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup chopped red onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 24 ounces seitan
  • 20 6-in skewers

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade: In a sealable bag, combine all of the ingredients except the seitan.
  2. Marinate the seitan: Add the seitan and marinate for at least 2 hours.
  3. Thread the skewers: Slice or break the seitan into skewer-like pieces or chunks and thread onto the skewers.
  4. Cook the skewers: Broil for 2-3 minutes on each side. Alternatively, you can cook on a grill or in a grill pan. Meanwhile, bring the marinade to a boil. Remove from the heat and serve alongside the skewers.

Notes

  • Gluten Allergy? Swap the seitan with tofu or your favorite gluten-free plant-pasted protein.
  • Soy Allergy? Replace the shoyu with coconut aminos or Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. Use a non soy tempeh or Pumfu. 
  • Make it “Homemade-ish”: Use your favorite store-bought teriyaki marinade in place of the homemade blend.
  • Spoiler Alert: Teriyaki Seitan Skewers will stay fresh in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for a week.
  • For non vegans: Make a separate batch of the marinade and make skewers using chicken tenders or sliced flank steak.
