    Instructions

    For the Gyros:

    • Mix seitan flour with paprika powder and chili powder. Mix the water with the soy sauce and the sesame oil. With your hands knead 2/3 of the liquid into the seitan powder. The result should be a firm dough without dry spots. Knead in more liquid if needed.
    • Shape the dough into flat cakes and steam them for about 45 minutes in a steamer hood.
    • Then let it cool down and cut it into thin, long strips. For the marinade, cut the onion into strips and finely chop the garlic. Then mix with the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Place the seitan strips in the marinade and leave to soak in the marinade for at least 2 hours.
    • Fry the gyros with the onion in a hot pan with some oil until crisp.

    For the Tzatziki:

    • Cut the cucumber lengthwise and scrape out the soft core. Then grate the cucumber finely. Chop the mint finely and press the garlic clove. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and leave to stand in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

    For the Sides:

    • Cut all ingredients for the salad into bite-sized pieces and mix together.
    • Serve gyros with rice, salad and tzatsiki.
