Cooking
Seitan is blank. which is used in the future, where could be the meat. I was interested to cook this recipe, quite unusual the cooking process. My bad expectations were not met, the dough is not flowed in the process of "washing", and all turned out delicious, although consistency more like mushrooms and not meat.
Take wheat flour. I took only 300 grams. but it is 1 serving. (Now less than 1 kg. do not cook)
Add 200 gr. water
Zamesit nekrutoe dough and leave for 30 minutes. (in the film or under cover to dry out) the Batter must stand to drain gluten.
While the dough is standing, boil the broth. (I made simply from spices, but you can use any. Seitan has no taste and is richer than the broth, the tastier it will eventually dish)
The dough "knead" with cold water (just cold enough to make hands feel comfortable, ice water will not improve the result)
It is necessary to squeeze hands in water (it will be milky white), periodically changing the water. As vymeshivanii the dough will be yellowing and become more rubbery. It is washed out of starch and Gluten remain.
After a while, water will become more transparent, and the amount of dough is greatly reduced.
300 g flour polucilosi 131 gr. porous substrate. (It all depends on the flour the better the flour, the more gluten)
The dough is pressed and cut into pieces. (The stronger the pressed dough, the less porous will be in the end the dish as a small piece is better pressed, then as you wish, I prefer the "rubber" version)
Pocenie pieces to throw in kipawa water for 30 mins (Big piece, cooked longer)
After 30 minutes the seitan will increase in size and float.
Further, the seitan should be stored in a broth (to absorb flavor) and can be used for the preparation of the finished dishes.
I grill it and put in tomato sauce, turns out very tasty dish. (We eat without garnish)
