AHA!

Thanks!
Is Vital Wheat gluten different from Vital Wheat Gluten flour? I think I need to rinse it much longer as flour. It really tastes just like various meats! Even the texture is correct! What a great meat substitute!

Difficulty: Moderate Instructions Things You'll Need:
2 cups Vital Wheat Gluten
1 1/4 cup Water (or as needed)
1 cup Soy Sauce
5 cups broth
Step 1 Mix the water into the vital wheat gluten. Keep adding water but stop short of the gluten being too watery.

Step 2 Start kneading gently and keep kneading until it forms a dough. Once that is done, cut the dough up into small pieces and flatten them out.

Step 3 In a small pot, bring the broth and soy sauce to a simmer and throw in the pieces of seitan. Make sure to keep them separated. They should not stick together if they're of a proper consistency.

Step 4 The seitan will expand, and will be done cooking after an hour or more, when the pieces have firmed up. Remove from pot and let cool. Keep frozen until ready to use. Seitan can keep for quite some time so prepare in large batches if needed. Good luck.
