Before mixing your ingredients, get the steaming apparatus ready, bringing water to a full boil. The rest of the recipe comes together very quickly.
Have ready 4 square sheets of tin foil and parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the beans until no whole ones are left. Throw all the other ingredients together in the order listed and mix with a fork. Divide dough into 4 even parts (an easy way to do this: split the dough in half and then into quarters).
Place one part of dough into tin foil lined with parchment and mold into about a 5 inch log. Wrap dough in tin foil, like a tootsie roll. Don’t worry too much about shaping it, it will snap into shape while it’s steaming because this recipe is awesome. Trim the edges of the parchment if needed.
Place wrapped sausages in steamer and steam for 40 minutes. Let cool before using. See serving suggestions above.

Wrecky on 2026-02-23 (5 stars): These are my go to seitan sausages. I've been making them for over a decade. I don't know why. But I'm still intimidated by seitan recipes that call for simmering the seitan in broth. These have great flavor, are super versatile, and you can just set them in the steamer for 40 minutes!
Rachel Strasser on 2026-02-21 (5 stars): These are so good and so shockingly easy. I never knew thought I’d be able to make my own sausages, it seemed like wizardry! But now that I live somewhere that they aren’t easily purchased, I’m making them regularly: as a bonus they freeze + defrost well!
Christine Michael on 2026-02-20 (5 stars): Simple ingredients yield delicious results! I’ve made these a bunch of times. Perfect for using in recipes like a skillet hash.. or simply dipping in mustard!
Laura on 2026-02-20 (5 stars): My go to sausage recipe. I make these instead of store bought. Love the variations too.
Rebecca Gill on 2026-02-20 (5 stars): Great recipe thank you! I need to make this again
