Seitan is a food you make by extracting just the gluten from wheat, making a dough of that, kneading the hell of of it, then cooking it. It’s 75% protein by mass.
Pure seitan is tough and aggressively bland, but mixing a little of just about anything into the flour fixes both of those. In my opinion, a good seitan recipe has the best texture of any meat.
It’s sort of a building block food, you can really flavor it to taste like just about anything. Vegan place I worked at did seitan donair for example. It’s a little tricky to make but after a few tries you’ll have it going well
Also use this seitan recipe because nearly every other recipe tells you that you have to knead your seitan until the gluten has developed and then they tell you to steam it or simmer it for 1 hour+.
Fuck that
You don’t have to use the same flavouring ingredients though. Mushroom seasoning is really good in it and so is Golden Mountain Sauce but you can use whatever you feel like or what you have on hand such as broth powder. You might need to add a little bit of extra water to compensate though.
Tf is seitan? How much protein?!

I often hear that people tell me they don’t like seitan or tofu because it doesn’t taste like anything.
Unlike chicken that you can basically eat raw and don’t even have to season, because it has such a good taste.
Seconded, I’ve had good seitan before and the texture is all I need from meat. Season it right like any meat and you’re good to go.
Worship Seitan!! 🙏
