    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
