Eight steps
Coleslaw dressing
Whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and 10 ml of maple syrup. Season with salt.
The vegetables
Finely slice the red cabbage and savoy cabbage, combine them with the julienned carrots and sliced onion, dress with the sauce and let marinate.
Seitan
Shred the meat with your hands.
In a pan
Heat two tablespoons of oil, add the pressed garlic and seitan, then mix in the paprika.
The sauce
After 5 minutes, add barbecue sauce, soy sauce, tomato paste, 10 ml of maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar.
Cooking
Add 200 ml of water, stir, cover, and continue cooking for 10 minutes over low heat.
The buns
Halve them and warm them on the griddle, inner side down.
Stuff
Generous base of pulled pork, coleslaw on top, close and serve immediately.
Two things to know
First, prepare the coleslaw. It needs to sit in the dressing while the seitan cooks: that's when it releases water and absorbs flavor.
The syrup goes into two different places. Half in the coleslaw dressing, half in the pulled pork base.
The ingredient
The variety used in this recipe. Dark, robust flavor: holds up to cooking and stands out in a dough.
