Vegetarian Soy Foods - Seitan
Seitan is a form of wheat gluten.
It is a high protein, low fat, food that is usually found in the refrigerated
section of most organic groceries/health food stores. It is usually near
the tofu and typically comes in small tubs (like margarine tubs). It is
brown and sometimes comes in strips 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick.
Seitan has a greater similarity
to meat than textured vegetable protein or mycoprotein and is used as
a meat substitute in a range of foods.
Seitan can be used in sandwiches,
or to make dishes such as sweet and sour seitan, seitan stir fry, salisbury
seitan, etc. It can be made at home from scratch or with a commercially
available mix.
