Ingredients

Seitan
1 3/4 cups wheat gluten flour (vital wheat gluten)
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water or vegetable stock
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil

Simmering Broth:
7 cups water
1 medium onion, quartered
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions

  1. 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.

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

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

  4. 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.
