Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Seitan: A Plant-Based Meat Alternative.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, blend vital wheat gluten with half a cup of vegetable broth, liquid aminos, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and minced garlic until a cohesive dough forms.
Step 2
Knead this mixture for about five minutes until it achieves a rubbery, elastic texture.
Step 3
Next, divide the dough into three equal portions and shape each into a patty, roughly half an inch thick.
Step 4
In a large pot, combine the remaining four cups of vegetable broth, four cups of water, and tamari, then bring this flavorful concoction to a boil.
Step 5
Gently lower the patties into the bubbling broth, cover the pot, and allow it to return to a boil.
Step 6
Once boiling, slightly ajar the lid to let steam escape.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and let the patties simmer for about an hour, turning them occasionally until they firm up beautifully.
Step 8
After cooking, remove the pot from the heat and let the patties rest in the broth for 15 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.
