Seitan (wheat-meat) is ridiculously simple to make at home. Make a dough out of about 2 parts flour (a high gluten flour works best) and one parts water (adjust water and flour levels to make to dough not to sticky and workable) Knead the dough for about 10 minutes and let it rest for the same amount of time then either knead the dough under a gently runnign warm faucet or in a bowl of warm water (changing the water when it get milky) This washes away the starch leaving the rubbery gluten fibers...keep kneading and rinsing until the water runs clear (the dough will reduce ALOT so start with a big ball of dough). shape and cut the seitan as desired and simmer in a broth or some type of flavorign of your choice (soy sauce and tamari is traditional i beleive) for 30-45 minutes. Then cook according to ur recipe or jsut get creative...shred it with BBQ sauce for a nice BBQ sandwich...batter and fry it for nuggets...just have fun
considering the price of a bag of flour this stuff is super cheap and gives you a nice heavy protein meal
