Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 Seitan Used in many vegetarian dishes as a meat substitute, seitan is made from wheat gluten. High gluten flour is made into a dough, then kneeded under water until all starch has been removed. It is then simmered in pieces in a broth of soy sauce, kombu (a sea vegetable), and ginger for several hours until tender. It can be purchased pre-made by White Wave (a very delicious brand) or others. Available on the east coast only, Ray's brand is by far the best tasting, if you can find it. It is also available in a dry mix in many health food stores. It can also be made laboriously by hand (a several hour process). Seitan is an ancient food of China. Many vegetarian-oriented Chinese restaurants will have dishes using seitan, where it has a long history of culinary use. > >Can anyone please tell me what is seitan? > >Nicky > > > >island girl [island_girl_01] >Thursday, 7 June 2001 18:33 > > Mushroom and Seitan Stroganoff > > >Mushroom and Seitan Stroganoff > >Ingredients: > > 1 Tbsp. oil > 1 medium onion, chopped > 2 cloves garlic, minced > 4 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced > 3 Tbsp. lemon juice > 1 tsp. tarragon > 1/2 tsp. sweet paprika > 2 cups broth or water > 2 Tbsp. tahini > 1/2 tsp. pepper > 1 tomato, peeled, seeded, diced (opt.) > 2 Tbsp. fresh minced parsley > 1/2 lb. dried shitake mushrooms > 12 oz. seitan, cut into strips > 8 oz. fettucini pasta > >Instructions: > >1.
