Recipe Summary Basic Seitan - Wheat Meat (Vegan Meat Substitute)

Ingredients | Vegan Protein Sources Compared To Meat

1 cup vital wheat gluten

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

½ cup vegetable broth

¼ cup liquid amino acid (such as Bragg®)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic

4 cups vegetable broth

4 cups water

¼ cup tamari

Directions

Stir vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, 1/2 cup vegetable broth, liquid amino acid, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl until ingredients come together into a ball. Knead ball until dough has a rubbery texture. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into 1/2-inch thick patties.

Bring 4 cups vegetable broth, water, and tamari to a boil in a large pot. Carefully place patties into boiling broth; cover pot and return to a boil. Set lid slightly askew to vent steam and reduce heat to low. Continue simmering patties until firm, turning patties occasionally, about 1 hour. Remove pot from heat and set lid aside. Allow patties to cool in broth for 15 minutes before serving.

This will make roughly one pound of seitan.

You can store seitan in an airtight container covered with the broth. Do not discard the broth though. It makes a SUPER rich soup base!
