How Seitan Is Made
Wheat gluten flour (usually, with added spices to impart more flavor to the end product) is combined with water. The resulting mass is kneaded repeatedly and then separated into smaller pieces. The pieces are added to a pot of water (or broth, to impart more flavor) and simmered for at least one hour. The end result is ready for cooking or storage. Seitan can also be baked instead of boiled; if shaped properly the result will be like sausages or luncheon meat. -
