Description
Seitan, often called ‘wheat meat,’ is made from a few simple ingredients that create a high-protein, chewy, and satisfying meat substitute perfect for vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Ingrédients
- Wheat gluten (vital wheat gluten flour)
- Water or broth
- Soy sauce or tamari (for saltiness)
- Garlic and onion powder
- Paprika or nutritional yeast (for flavor)
Instructions
- Step 1 – Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine wheat gluten, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika or nutritional yeast.
- Step 2 – Add Liquid: Stir in water or broth and soy sauce until a dough forms.
- Step 3 – Knead the Dough: Knead for a few minutes to develop the gluten — this creates the chewy, meaty texture.
- Step 4 – Cook the Seitan: Simmer or steam the dough for 30–45 minutes until firm and cooked through.
- Step 5 – Use as Desired: Slice, shred, or cube for stir-fries, sandwiches, or stews.
Notes
Simmering in flavorful broth enhances the taste. For firmer texture, steam instead of boil. You can also season the liquid with soy sauce, herbs, or miso for depth.
