Healthy Recipes With Seitan
At a family gathering, we always have fun and most of all we find ourselves eating all kinds of foods. Sometimes this makes us wonder if we should slow down. It’s okay to eat like there’s no tomorrow for an occasion, but what happens when we eat fatty foods every day of our life? All that cholesterol is not good for the human heart. Mature children generally have to watch their parents at the other end of the table as he devours his favorite fatty food.
At the end of the day, after everyone’s gone, you start lecturing your dad, telling him that he has to watch what he eats, especially at his age. A person cannot change the food that is put on the table, because it is the women of the house who cook. Women can change what is brought to the table and that will make a big difference in the health of your family. Here’s an example of a healthy family recipe:
This is called the basic Seitan. It is a substitute for meat, and it is composed of wheat gluten, which is very rich in protein, but very low in fat. If you have the right materials, this plate can be quite easy to make.
This dish that you will either fall in love with or hate with everything you have. If you love it in the end, follow the recipe because it is easy to follow. If you’ve never heard of the dish, give it a try. Remember, what is left over after indulging can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week and a half without turning off.
Ingredients
1 x gallon of water
1 x piece of ginger
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 x cup gluten flour (this is also known as 80% gluten or high gluten)
1-2 cup warm water
These ingredients make 2 lbs.
Method
1) A large pot containing the gallon of water with the soy sauce and the piece of ginger should bring to a boil. In the meantime:
2) While that is happening, mix the gluten and the 1-2 cups of warm water with your hands and until the mixture ends up being a sticky blob.
3) Next, you should run cold water over the stain and then knead it with your knuckles for about 3 minutes. Remember to change the water once it becomes cloudy. If the gluten is fresh, it will hold the dough together. If it is not fresh, the kneading will break it. In this case, just pick up the pieces and press them onto the stain.
4) Once the water has started to boil, cut the gluten into pieces (about the size of a finger) and place them in the fast-boiling water. This can cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Keep in mind that seitan can be a substitute for meat in any recipe that needs it! (stew, stir fry, chili, etc.)
