  • Place the sausages in a steamer and steam for 30-40 minutes with the lid closed.
  • After cooking, the seitan should be firm and not wobbly.

Notes

If you don't have a steamer, you can also fill the Seitan mixture into preserving jars (the lid should be the same width as the rest of the jar so that the Seitan comes out again) and put it into a water bath.
