Seitan - meat alternative from wheat gluten
Seitan is a plant-based protein derived from wheat gluten. It originates from China, where it has been used in Buddhist vegetarian cuisine for over a thousand years. It is made by repeatedly washing wheat dough to remove starch, leaving behind pure gluten. Seitan has a firm, meaty texture and a neutral flavor, making it excellent at absorbing marinades and spices. It works well in stir-fries, on the grill, in stews, and in sandwiches.
