 Uploading ....Seitan
From a couple of internet recipes, adapted and modified extensively.
- 1 1/2 cups wheat gluten
-
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
-
1 cup very cold water
-
1/2 cup soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon tomato paste
-
2 cloves garlic, pressed or grated on a microplane grater
-
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 10 cups cold water or vegetable broth
-
1/2 cup soy sauce
- star anise
- cloves
- fresh ginger
- oil
- flour
- smoked paprika
- salt
1. Mix together gluten and yeast flakes.
In a separate bowl, mix together ingredients through orange zest. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and combine with a firm spatula,
knead dough for about 3 minutes until a spongy, elastic dough is
formed. Let dough rest for a couple of minutes.
2. Now roll your dough into a log shape about 8 inches long and cut into 3
equal sized pieces. Place the pieces in the broth (water, soy, spices). It is important that
the water/broth be very cold when you add the dough, it helps with the
texture and ensures that it doesn't fall apart. Partially cover the pot
(leave a little space for steam to escape) and bring to a boil. Simmer gently for an hour, turning seitan occasionally.
3. Let it cool in the simmering broth for at least a half an hour. It is best if it cools completely.
4. Pat seitan dry and cut into appropriate shapes. Mix flour, paprika,
and salt. Dip one side of seitan pieces in the mixture, and pan-fry
that side in oil to make a crust.
Asparagus- Put asparagus in a microwavable dish with a little water. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving a corner open. Microwave on high 4-5 minutes. Blanch in cold water. Drain.
