About Seitan Seitan is made from wheat gluten (wheat protein). The dough is made by mixing wheat flour and water, then washing the mixture to extract the wheat protein. The resulting gluten cake is traditionally cooked in soy sauce, seaweed, and spices to add depth of flavor. Seitan has a firm texture and is an excellent source of plant-based protein. Originally developed by Zen Buddhists in China and Japan, seitan has been used as a meat and fish substitute for over 1000 years.
