Introduce the recipe and ingredients for seitan ribs.

Prepare the bean mixture by soaking dry pinto beans in boiling water for an hour, then cooking in an Instant Pot for 30 minutes until soft.

Combine 1.5 cups of vital wheat gluten with the bean mixture, shredded king oyster mushrooms, and jackfruit.

Mix the ingredients by hand to form a dough, kneading slightly to achieve a stringy texture.

Prepare a baking dish with a layer of barbecue sauce, mixing Sweet Baby Ray's and Bullseye barbecue sauces together.

Form the seitan mixture into a shape and coat it in the barbecue sauce, flipping to ensure it's well covered.

Place the coated seitan in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 to 3 hours, basting periodically.

Return to show the finished ribs, noting their firmness and texture.
