Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup water
- Soy sauce
- 1 cup gluten (see seitan for how to get gluten from wheat flour)
- Additional spices, e.g., coriander , cardamom , thyme and oregano
- Tofu (optional)
- Vegetable oil
Directions
Mix soy sauce with the water.
Mix solid ingredients (e.g. spices) with the flour. It is much easier to mix solid and liquid ingredients separately than adding ingredients to the gluten dough later, as it is very rubbery and sticky.
Combine the wet and dry ingredient mixtures. Add the tofu, and knead the dough until it is well combined. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
Roll the dough into sausages and fry them in a pan. An oiled non-stick pan is recommended. To form round sausages you have to turn them on all sides and squeeze from both sides with two spatulas.
