Tapioca Seitan

 

Recipe By : Sean Carney

Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :

Categories : Meat sub Analog

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 cups instant gluten flour

1/2 cup w.w. flour

1/2 cup unbleached white flour

1/2 cup minute tapioca -- (secret ingredient,

-- tell everyone!)

4 tablespoons nutritional yeast

3 tablespoons chicken style seasoning

3 tablespoons garlic powder

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 1/4 cups cold water

***BROTH***

8 cups water

1 large onion cut in large pieces

fresh garlic -- (amount depends on

-- preference)

1/2 cup soy sauce

4 tablespoons nutritional yeast

3 tablespoons chicken style seasoning

 

Mix all dry ingredients and add all once to the liquid ingredients. Mix

quickly and knead. Shape into two rolls. put in plastic bags and freeze.

They will now be ready for use at a later date. When you want to use

them allow them to thaw a little so you can slice, dice, chop, drop or

whatever!

 

Bring broth to a boil and add gluten, more water can be used if you want

more broth for a stew etc...

 

From there the sky is the limit.

 

So here's a way to make *seitan* or gluten as I've known it before that

is really surprisingly tender and not too labor intensive. We serve this

at our lifestyle reconditioning center and it is very popular. Notice

the secret ingredient.
