Home Made Seitan Easy

Total Time: 2 hrs 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 cup vital wheat gluten
• 3/4 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons seasoning, of choice (i use vegan powdered chicken or beef bouillon, and nori for fish flavour)
• 6 cups broth (for cooking, can add sliced onion and soy sauce for extra flavor)

Recipe

• 1 mix flour and spices.
• 2 in a measure cup, add soy sauce to the 3/4 cup broth.
• 3 add liquid to dry. stir till it comes together.( add some of the broth 1 teaspoon at a time if you need to.).
• 4 now put your large pot of broth on to boil. when that’s taken care of, knead your ball of rubbery stuff for 10-15 minute let rest for 5, then knead a few times more. now make sure the broth on the stove is just simmering. a full boil will ruin the seitan.
• 5 cut pieces off the dough and do your best to stretch into thin patty-like cutlet shapes, -- thinner is better.
• 6 drop the cutlets into the broth and simmer away for an hour or two.then let the broth cool on its own.
• 7 you can keep the seitan in its broth in the fridge for about 5 days, or freeze it. this can also be wizzed in a blender to make a ground meat substance.
• 8 serves: 5-8 cutlets.
