What Is Seitan?

Pronounced [SAY-tan] and also referred to as wheat meat or wheat gluten, seitan is a vegetarian meat substitute. With a chewy, meat-like texture this high protein food is used in many vegetarian dishes.  Like tofu seitan takes on the flavors from other foods so it is adaptable for use in many recipes.  The product shown is a pre-cooked, seasoned food sold refrigerated.  You can add the food to stir-fries or fillings for tacos or burritos. The product is available in a dry form as well which you would reconstitute and add your own seasonings.

Here are some alternate vegetarian ingredients to use if you like a seitan substitute:

  • Textured soy protein
  • Grilled eggplant
  • Tempeh
  • Portobello mushrooms
  • Atsu-age
  • Deep-fried tofu
