Description

Looking for a meat replacement? Give this seitan recipe a whirl. Flour and aromatic broth form the base of this delicious, meat-free, chicken-like wonder.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Place flour and 2 cups water in a large bowl. Using hands, mix until a soft dough forms. Transfer to a floured bench. Knead for 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Return to bowl. Cover dough with water until it’s completely submerged. Stand for 1 hour.

Step 2 of 4

Drain dough. Cover dough with fresh water and knead dough in water for 10 minutes. Drain. Repeat process several times until water is almost clear. Drain. Rest dough, covered, for 30 minutes. Knead onion powder, garlic powder and paprika into dough until well combined. Shape dough into a long log. Tie dough into a knot.

Step 3 of 4

Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add dough and cook for 1 minute on each side or until golden.

Step 4 of 4

Add stock and soy sauce and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour, turning dough halfway through cooking time. Remove seitan chicken from cooking liquid, then discard cooking liquid. Cool for 1 hour. Shred or slice seitan chicken and use as needed.
