Oat Flour Seitan Recipe: A Delicious Vegan Meat Substitute

Seitan is commonly used as a meat substitute in vegetarian diets and is sometimes called wheat meat. Seitan is actually the cooked form of the gluten formed when a wheat flour dough is kneaded and then rinsed with water, which removes the starch. Seitan is commonly simmered in a soy sauce to create a taste similar to beef. The product is used in stews and chili recipes as a replacement to meat. Several recipes exist that include oat flour in the seitan.
