Vegan Food Review: Primal Vegan Jerky Seitan Flavor

[eredien]

So, I have a secret: I love jerky. It's no good though, full of disgusting meat ends and preservatives. I have been looking for primal vegan jerky in the Boston area since the vegan food fest last fall, and now I've found the seitan flavor--at the usually vegan-food-free wasteland of the Porter Square MBTA kiosk.

Cons: a little bit expensive, around a dollar a stick. Only one flavor, seitan, is available--I want to try mushroom! A little salty.

Pros: juicy, great texture, delicious flavor. Satisfies jerky craving. Has tons of protein, which I need in the morning. Flat pack fits in bag for biking, etc.

I think I've had tofu jerky that was pretty dang delicious.

I wonder how hard it would be to make your own jerky with seitan and/or tofu. It seems like it shouldn't be difficult, unless you are particular about the texture. Just cook with seasonings and then stick into an oven at a low temperature for a while. I think inari tofu skins might be a good starting point. I'd personally also experiment with tofu-kan, especially with freezing it first, to give it holes from the ice crystals to increase surface area to hold onto seasoning and give it a fun texture.

Hm....good thought.
