On seitan.
This post is again brought to you through the influence of The Vegan.
Seitan is a meat substitute, popular in the east, made from wheat gluten. It's pretty easy to make, if a little time consuming.
This recipe was found on a popular vegan forum:
Seitan
600g High Gluten flour (tipo '00')
200g whole wheat flour
4 tbsp brewer’s yeast
¾ tsp salt/seasoning of your choice
¼ cup soya sauce
500ml water
Put all of the ingredients into a large bowl, and mix together with your hands. Knead the mixture and leave to rest for 25 minutes.
Add enough warm water to the bowl to cover the dough, and knead until the water becomes cloudy. Replace the water and repeat until the water is no longer clouded. You should be left with a rubbery putty. This is your seitan.
The seitan can be cooked in a number of ways, the most frequently recommended is to boil the gluten in a broth. I am yet to test seitan's next step, but when I do, you will be the first to know.
