How Do You Make Seitan?
Seitan is useful, especially for vegetarians, since it is high in protein and can be extremely tasty when cooked as a substitute for meat. Its ability to emulate flavors easily makes it a great treat for reducing or eliminating meat from your diet. Here are the steps needed to make Seitan. Step 1 Mix the water into the vital wheat gluten. Keep adding water but stop short of the gluten being too watery. Step 2 Start kneading gently and keep kneading until it forms a dough. Once that is done, cut the dough up into small pieces and flatten them out. Step 3 In a small pot, bring the broth and soy sauce to a simmer and throw in the pieces of seitan. Make sure to keep them separated. They should not stick together if they’re of a proper consistency. Step 4 The seitan will expand, and will be done cooking after an hour or more, when the pieces have firmed up. Remove from pot and let cool. Keep frozen until ready to use. Seitan can keep for quite some time so prepare in large batches if needed
