Instructions

  1. Combine vital wheat gluten and nutritional yeast. Stir in soy sauce and enough broth to form a thick dough.
  2. Knead dough until elastic and easy to handle. Shape as desired—common shapes include loaves, balls and patties.
  3. Place dough in large saucepan and add remaining broth, onion and garlic. If necessary, add enough water to cover seitan.
  4. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 30 to 45 minutes. Dough should be firm. Cool in broth or serve warm.
