Seitan
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten flour
Cook time: 1 hour
1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten flour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes (Again...Whole Foods)
1 cup very cold water
1/2 cup soy sauce (I used about 1/3)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, pressed or grated on a microplane grater
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Simmering Broth
10 cups water or vegetable broth
1/2 cup soy sauce (I would use either the broth or the soy sauce. Not both.)
1. In a large bowl, mix together Vital Wheat Gluten Flour and nutritional yeast flakes.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together remaining ingredients.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and combine with a firm spatula, knead dough for about 3 minutes until a spongy, elastic dough is formed. Let dough rest for a couple of minutes and prepare your broth, but don't start boiling it.
4. Now roll your dough into a log shape about 8 inches long and cut into 3 equal sized pieces. Place the pieces in the broth. It is important that the water/broth be very cold when you add the dough, it helps with the texture and ensures that it doesn't fall apart. Partially cover the pot and bring to a boil.
5. When the water has come to a boil set the heat to low and gently simmer for an hour, turning the pieces every now and again.
6. Let it cool in the simmering broth for at least a half an hour. It is best if it cools completely.
