Praise Seitan!

Having a good basic seitan recipe is key. I used to be really intimidated by the idea of making wheat meat but it's actually really simple. The hardest part is waiting for it to simmer and cool before you can fry it up for wings or stir fry it with some veggies.

For the seitan:
2 cups Vital Wheat Gluten
1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast
4 TBS all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup cold Veggie Stock
1 TBS olive oil
1 TBS garlic
splash of lemon juice

For the broth:
12 cups cold Veggie Stock ( bouillon is the cheapest route here)

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix all wet ingredients in another bowl. Mix the wet into the dry with a spatula. Once mixed, knead the dough till spongy and elastic. Allow dough to rest a few minutes. While it's relaxing prepare the broth in a large pot. Keep everything as cold as possible it'll help the seitan to set up.
Cut the dough into the shapes you desire, nothing too large tho'. Drop all your pieces into the cold broth and cover. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 1 hour. After this I just stick the whole thing, pot and all, into the fridge to cool overnight. It's important to let it cool all the way through. Once cool you can cut it up and do with it what you like. Batter it and deep fry for wings or eat cold in a salad.
