Did a quick internet search... found this. :^)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Home-made Seitan

 

First, in your dutch oven or soup pot, put and bring

to a boil:

6 c. water

1/2 c. soy sauce

1 onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 bay leaves

pepper to taste

 

Then, and THIS IS IMPORTANT, measure your little bag

of gluten flour (1 to 1-1/2 c.), then put it in a

mixing bowl (wider is better than deep).

 

To the flour, add and mix very well:

2 T. nutritional (good-tasting) yeast flakes

2 T. wheat flour

1/2 t. onion powder

1/4 t. garlic powder

 

Measure out the same amount of tasty stock and add it

to the gluten flour, mixing very quickly. It will turn

into a rubbery sponge faster than you would believe.

Then oil up your hands and knead it for five minutes.

 

Tear the " sponge " into three balls, and put them in

the now rolly-boiling stock. Cover the pot and turn

the heat to simmer. Set your timer to 55 minutes...

cleaning up the mess. ...You could go take a bubble

bath.

 

When cool, put the now monster balls into appropriate

plastic containers, and cover them with the stock

that's left. Freeze two; consuming the other.

 

Slice for phoney Swiss steak, and simmer the slices in

the tomato sauce for a while.

Grate it for spaghetti sauce.

Tear it into oyster-like shreds for stir fry, or

simmer in vegetarian gravy for hot open-face

sandwiches.

Not bad braised in barbeque sauce and served over

rice...
