Tender and delicious seitan

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 200 g tofu, soft, e.g. from Taifun
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp broth powder (porcini mushroom yeast broth)
• 2 tbsp potato starch
• 250 ml water
• 200 g gluten powder or seitan fix

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

Puree the tofu, soy sauce, yeast bouillon, and potato flour in a food processor. Add 200 ml of water and mix thoroughly. Add the gluten powder and mix everything into a dough. Briefly knead the seitan dough and place it in a boil-in-the-bag bag. Add 50 ml of water. Seal the bag with a clip, leaving a little air space. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the bag of seitan in the water and simmer for 45 minutes. Allow the seitan to cool, then cut into slices or pieces and season to taste. This can be used to make delicious grilled steaks, schnitzel, gyros, goulash, fricassee, and similar dishes. The seitan tastes good in salads or as a sandwich topping. If you let the seitan rest in the refrigerator overnight, it will firm up. The seitan is easy to freeze. Freezer bags or roasting bags are also suitable as boil-in-the-bag bags.
