Instructions

Mix the vital wheat gluten, garlic powder, soy sauce and miso paste in a bowl, slowly adding ½ cup of water until a firm, elastic dough forms. Knead for about a minute, then cut the dough into small pieces. Make small balls with those pieces and set them aside.
Preheat the deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Add the balls in small batches, and cook for 5 minutes. When done, they should have puffed up into spheres; don't get too excited, as they will soon deflate. Set aside and continue cooking the dough in batches until done.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and BBQ sauce with 1 cup of water and whisk together.
Add a small amount of oil to a large skillet and sauté the onions and garlic for about 2 minutes. Add the seitan morsels and the diluted barbecue sauce.
Slow down and continue to cook, stirring often. When the seitan has absorbed most of the liquid or evaporated, the sauce will thicken.
