Simple Simmered Seitan - Vegan

Make the seitan: In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, onion powder, paprika, and salt. In a medium bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, and oil.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring to make a soft dough.

Knead for 3 minutes, then let rest for 5 minutes. Divide the dough into 2 to 4 pieces (depending on your needs).

Make the simmering broth: In a large saucepan, combine the water, onion, garlic, and soy sauce. Add the seitan pieces to the liquid and bring just to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour. Do not let the liquid come to a boil. The seitan can be allowed to cool in the liquid and then refrigerated until needed for recipes. Seitan keeps well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for 2 to 3 weeks.
