Basic Seitan - Wheat Meat (Vegan Meat Substitute)

Stir vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, 1/2 cup vegetable broth, liquid amino acid, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl until ingredients come together into a ball.

Knead ball until dough has a rubbery texture.

Divide dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into 1/2-inch thick patties.

Bring 4 cups vegetable broth, water, and tamari to a boil in a large pot.

Carefully place patties into boiling broth; cover pot and return to a boil.

Set lid slightly askew to vent steam and reduce heat to low.

Continue simmering patties until firm, turning patties occasionally, about 1 hour.

Remove pot from heat and set lid aside.

Allow patties to cool in broth for 15 minutes before serving.
