Seitan is a food you make by extracting just the gluten from wheat, making a dough of that, kneading the hell of of it, then cooking it. It's 75% protein by mass.
Pure seitan is tough and aggressively bland, but mixing a little of just about anything into the flour fixes both of those. In my opinion, a good seitan recipe has the best texture of any meat.
It's sort of a building block food, you can really flavor it to taste like just about anything. Vegan place I worked at did seitan donair for example. It's a little tricky to make but after a few tries you'll have it going well
Also use this seitan recipe because nearly every other recipe tells you that you have to knead your seitan until the gluten has developed and then they tell you to steam it or simmer it for 1 hour+.
Fuck that
You don't have to use the same flavouring ingredients though. Mushroom seasoning is really good in it and so is Golden Mountain Sauce but you can use whatever you feel like or what you have on hand such as broth powder. You might need to add a little bit of extra water to compensate though.
I forget the brand but I saw a plant-based meal supplement shake the other day at Walmart that was 30g of protein. It was right next to the bourgeois luxury item known as Soylent.
Someone should make a brand of seitan marketed towards body builders and gym bros. 3x as much protein as beef! How do you beat that.
“Oh? Want to own the libs? Eat seitan! While those soyboys are having their recreational gluten free diet, eat PURE GLUTEN!”
Hitler’s choice: putting the BASED in plant-based.
Told my gym going co worker, I wouldn't call him a gym bro but he's working out about how stupid protein dense seitan is and he's all over it now
Tf is seitan? How much protein?!

Seconded, I’ve had good seitan before and the texture is all I need from meat. Season it right like any meat and you’re good to go.
Worship Seitan!! 🙏

True alpha proteinmaxxers eat only soy sausage, which was invented by true conservative chad Konrad Adenauer (yes, that one)
