Turns out, making seitan is simple. The Happy Herbivore version is made with vital wheat gluten and seasonings. You mix them together with water to form a dough, cut it into pieces, and get something that looks like this.
Then you add the dough to a pot of broth and seasonings and cook it for an hour. You then bake it for about 25 minutes until it forms a skin similar to chicken. The recipe suggested using the leftover cooking broth to make gravy, which was super easy to do by just adding some soymilk and a little cornstarch.The result:
Yum! Delicious on its own covered in gravy, but I'll definitely make this again for wraps or maybe to add to pasta.
Oh my gosh, yours look amazing! I don't have the book yet but this photo will suffice. They look a little bizarre pre-cooking but that cornstarch coating must really be the way to go.
