Basic Seitan
Seitan is made from the protein in wheat or spelt flour. The flour is made into a dough that is then kneaded
and rinsed to remove the starch (carbohydrates) and bran, thus concentrating the gluten (protein) of the
wheat. This gluten is then slowly simmered in a broth seasoned with natural shoyu. The result is a protein-rich
food with a meat-like texture that can be used in many ways in a variety of recipes.
