Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of vital wheat gluten with ½ cup of blended tofu or beans, and add your choice of seasonings. Stir until it forms a thick, cohesive dough.

Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until elastic and smooth.

Shape the Seitan: Divide the kneaded dough into portions, shaping them as desired. This takes about 3-5 minutes.

Cook the Seitan: Bring 4 cups of vegetable broth to a boil, add the shaped seitan pieces, and let them simmer for about 30 minutes.

Cool and Store: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked seitan to a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes.
