Seitan Wings

http://vegetarian.about.com/od/maindishentreerecipes/r/seitanwings.htm Spicy Seitan Buffalo "Wings" are a vegetarian and vegan substitute for traditional pub buffalo wings but with all the same seasonings and flavor and fried goodness smothered in melty margarine (make sure it's vegan!) and hot sauce, just like the original buffalo wings made from chicken. Seitan doesn't come with wings any more than buffaloes do, but these meatless buffalo wings are cooked up with hot sauce and margarine for the same spicy flavor. If you're a vegetarian or vegan who misses buffalo wings (or knows someone who does), you won't be disappointed with this recipe! INGREDIENTS 1 pound seitan, sliced into strips 2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder olive oil for frying 1/3 cup margarine, melted 1/2 cup hot sauce

Basic Seitan

Make 1 lb. Seitan is essentially a dough made with vital wheat gluten, a high-protein wheat flour, and liquid. The dough can be rinsed or poached to become a chewy meat substitute that can be added to many different dishes. We've added light seasonings to this recipe so that it will work in any dish, but feel free to play around with flavors and shapes. This tried-and-true favorite can be used in any recipe calling for seitan. 2 cups vital wheat gluten ½ cup nutritional yeast 2 tsp. garlic powder 5 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided 2 Tbs. low-sodium soy sauce ½ small onion, diced 1 clove garlic, crushed 1. Combine wheat gluten, yeast, and garlic powder in large bowl. Stir in 1 cup broth and soy sauce until dough forms, adding more broth if necessary. Knead dough in bowl with spoon 3 minutes, or until elastic. Shape into 2 loaves. 2. Place loaves in large saucepan, and add remaining 4 cups broth, onion, garlic, and enough water to cover seitan. Cover, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 30 to 45
