Seitan is a popular vegan substitute for meat. It is made from wheat gluten and water and is often promoted as a high-protein, low-carb alternative to animal protein. Seitan can be prepared by hand using either whole wheat flour (which is a very labor-intensive process) or vital wheat gluten (which is a much simpler process).
To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook seitan using 14 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Seitan:
- Make ready 250 g firm tofu

It's what gives bread dough its elastic, stretchy texture. When you isolate the gluten by removing the starch and bran, you. The name seitan is now widely used in vegetarian, vegan, wholefood and macrobiotic circles for wheat gluten dishes. Wheat gluten is an alternative to soybean-based foods such as tofu, which are sometimes used as meat analogue.
Steps to make Seitan:
- Blitz the tofu, 'milk', miso, yeast extract, tarragon, sage, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth.
- Tip into a bowl and add the gluten and protein powder. Mix to form a dough. Then kneed for 10-15mins until springy.
- Roll out the mix to approximately 1cm thick and cut into chunks. I like to go for small chicken-breast-sized pieces.
- In a large pan, bring the stock to a boil and add the seitan pieces. Simmer for 30 minutes with the lid on.
- Allow to cool in the stock. Ideally leave overnight in the fridge.
Seitan is a dough, and like most dough, it needs to be kneaded. Kneading helps develop the gluten and brings elasticity and stretch into the dough. Traditionally, seitan was the product of rinsing and cooking wheat dough to remove the starch, leaving a protein-dense substance that turned out to be an excellent meat alternative. Today, you can buy ready-made seitan at the store, and a variety of companies, including Gardein, Tofurky, and Upton's, use it to create delicious mock meats. Seitan is made from protein-rich gluten and can be formed and shaped into a variety of styles for cooking many recipes.
