I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Seitan:
Chop the garlic cloves 7 sec/speed 7
Add all seitan ingredients to bowl.
Mix 2 min / "Dough mode" or until combined and elastic.
Divide into 3 equal pieces. Let rest while preparing the broth.
Broth:
Add the water, stock paste and soy sauce to the clean thermomix bowl (use boiling water from the kettle to speed this up if you wish) and set on VAROMA until boiling.
Once boiling, add seitan pieces and put MC on.
Simmer 45 minutes / speed soft / 98 degrees.
Turn the heat off and take the entire lid off and let sit for about 15 minutes.
Remove seitan pieces from broth and let sit until cool enough to handle. Slice and use as desired.
Tip: if you're going to use them in a soup or stew, it is recommended that you sautee them in a pan with some oil to greatly improve the texture.
Tip
Recipe adapted from this site: //www.theppk.com/2009/11/homemade-seitan/
I was surprised nobody uploaded a seitan recipe before. We use the TMX kneading function to make seitan all the time. Great alternative to those pre-packaged vegetarian chicken schnitzels.
You cannot substitute any other type of flour for the gluten flour, IT WILL NOT WORK, so do not try!!!!
The high gluten level is what gives it a meaty texture.

I also followed the recipe for making the dough but sliced it before boiling it on the stove. I added a tablespoon of mixed herbs and crushed walnuts to the stock to darken the slices and for extra flavour. I drained it well, crumbed and pan fried it to make tasty steaks.
Using my TM5, I found that reducing the water to 1500g and using the simmering basket to simmer the seitan is a good way to prevent the seitan pieces from falling apart while cooking. I also used the TM spatula a few times gently to stir the seitan pieces in the basket while simmering to insure even cooking of the seitan pieces.
