Gluten -- an alternative protein to tofu for your soup

I wasn't keen on putting tofu in this soup for some reason, so I made a tofu and meat substitute from vital wheat gluten, which is the protein in wheat. Some people find it hard to digest. Some people like it. I fall into the latter category.

It's very very simple to make, but it takes a little bit of time. It has to be steamed or boiled before it is ready to be eaten.

ingredients:

1 cup gluten flour
1 cup water

sesame oil
bouillion powder (I used 2 tsp)
garlic powder


directions:

1. combine the seasoning and the gluten flour, then add the water and mix really quickly until it turns into a mass
2. steam on a piece of parchment in a steamer for 30 minutes
3. alternately you can also boil it for 30 minutes
4. cut into pieces to use in your soup
5. excess can be sliced and frozen
