Basic Seitan

Contributed by: Chelsea Lincoln from the Bob's Red Mill Kitchen

Seitan is a meat substitute made from Vital Wheat Gluten Flour.

  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp Sage
  • 2 cups Vital Wheat Gluten

Broth

  • 2 Tb Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tb Molasses
  • 6 cups Water

Directions

Bring to a boil the water for the broth, molasses and soy sauce.

Mix together the gluten flour and spices. Add water to mixture and stir into a sponge-like dough. This should not be excessively wet. Knead dough a minute to make dough tougher and more elastic. Cut into 2 x 2 inch pieces and place into boiling broth. Cook in broth for about 1 hour, lowering heat as needed. Drain and use seitan for a stir-fry, sandwiches, stews and more.

Makes 12 servings.

*Freeze drained broth for future use if desired.
