- Spices (To taste, according to preference; varieties not specified)

- Vegan broth (Quantity not specified)
- Soy sauce (Quantity not specified)
Steps
- 1
Mix the wheat gluten and spices in a bowl. Adjust the amount of spices to taste.
- 2
Prepare the vegan broth. Blend the white beans until smooth to help give the seitan a better texture.

Pour the broth over the dry ingredients and mix. Add the soy sauce, then taste and adjust the seasoning.
- 4
Knead the dough by hand, which the creator says is the simplest method, until it is no longer floury.
- 5
Roll out the dough, cut it into small pieces, then tie each piece into a knot to create a fibrous texture.
- 6
Cook the pieces in boiling water or steam them for 50 minutes.
- 7
After cooking, prepare the seitan before eating it; the creator says it should not be eaten as is, without providing any additional preparation method.
Notes
The creator says that she works by eye and does not provide precise quantities. She specifies that the gluten flour cannot be replaced with another type of flour. The seitan must be prepared after its initial cooking; the method for this subsequent preparation is not detailed.
