Seitan (mock meat)- How to make it at home from scratch

- Here is one of the most common methods to make seitan at home, using the ‘wash the flour’ method.
Essentially, the flour is kneaded with water to form a dough, just like making bread minus the sugar, salt, and oil. Next, wash the dough gently with water several times until most of the starch is removed from the dough, leaving mainly the wheat protein behind.
This protein mass is called seitan, used by every Chinese vegetarian as a meat substitute to prepare various mock meat dishes.
This video explains how to make seitan (also called wheat meat or vegan meat) with this method. In addition, there are separate recipes on this channel describing how to use them to make various vegetarian dishes.
=======================================
Recipe:
(Please download the recipe and read the full details at tasteasianfood... )
Ingredients A
1kg all-purpose flour
650ml water
Ingredients B
100 ml light soy sauce
20 ml dark soy sauce
20 ml Shaoxing wine
2 tbsp sugar
1 bay leaf
1 star anise
1 cinnamon bark
4 cloves
Method
Knead the dough
Mix the water with the flour and knead it until it forms a nonsticky dough.
Knead the dough for ten minutes until the surface becomes shiny, and gluten is formed.
Submerge the dough in water for two hours.
Wash away the starch
Wash the dough for three minutes to release the starch into the water. When the water becomes milky, pour it away and use fresh water to rewash it.
Repeat the washing process a few times until the water becomes semi-translucent.
Let the washed dough rest for fifteen minutes.
Braid the seitan
Place the seitan on a work surface, then stretch it until it is elongated like a rod.
Cut the seitan lengthwise with a sharp knife into three parts, with one end attached.
Start to stretch and braid the gluten like making braided bread. Finally, tuck the end into the dough to close it up.
After that, make a few knots to tighten the gluten further.
Braise the seitan
Bring ingredients B to a boil.
Place the seitan in braising liquid and simmer for about an hour. Add more water if necessary.
Transfer the seitan and the braising liquid to a ziplock bag or sealed container and refrigerate overnight.

I didn't know what seitan actually is! I thought it was related to tofu... How ignorant am I! Thank you for enlightening me!
Awesome Video!

What do you estimate the finished weight to be from using 1kg. of flour?
I got about 250g seitan from 1kg of the flour. The starch water is used to make other dishes, such as liangpi, which I will upload the video soon.
You used chicken broth. This makes the vegetarian as non/vegetarian
Why did my seitan fall apart in the broth?
One main reason is the seitan has not been washed enough.
@@TasteofAsianFood i used vital wheat gluten
@@cfree5499 Whats your ratio gluten flour to water ratio by mass? And what other ingredients did you put into the dough?
其實我寧願直接用麵筋粉

Can the second wash water be used for the cold skin recipe too? Thanks 😊
It can, but you will get less starch precipitated. I wrote an article about this and hope is useful
