Indonesian style satay seitan

I miss chicken satay. It was one of my favorite things to eat and I felt always connected to something of my father's culture when i ate it. It looked soooooo good when I went in July...but oh well. Luckily, Fatfreevegan.com has a recipe for BBQ Seitan that i decided to convert into satay. I had Gado-Gado instant peanut sauce in the freezer, and diluted it with hot water and kecap manis.

Seitan:

1 cup vital wheat gluten
3 tbs nutrional yeast
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp paprika

3/4 cup water
2 tbs tahini
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs kecap manis

1 packet Gado-Gado peanut sauce OR any peanut butter
hot water
kecap manis

Preheat oven 350F. Mix first dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mix wet ingredients in a seperate bowl. Mix together. Knead for 5 minutes. Let rest for at least 10 minutes. Grease baking pan. Roll seitan flat and cut into long strips. Bake for 25 minutes. While the seitan is baking, mix the peanut butter sauce with hot water (to desired texture) and add a little kecap manis. Preheat and grease your griddle. Once baked, cut the seitan strips into further bite size chunks and skewer. Brush peanut sauce mixture onto one side of the skewered seitan. Lay brushed side onto grill. Brush top side with sauce and flip over. Serve with rice and bawan goreng on top.
