What does SEITAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A chewy, protein-rich food made from wheat gluten, often used as a meat substitute in cooking.
Seitan starts as wheat flour dough that is kneaded and rinsed in water until the starch washes away, leaving a dense, elastic mass that is typically simmered in a seasoned broth or soy-based liquid to build flavor and a firm bite. Its stretchy texture and knack for soaking up marinades make seitan a favorite stand-in for meat in vegetarian and vegan kitchens, where it is sliced, shredded, or cubed to mimic stir-fried strips or grilled cutlets. The name comes from Japanese, tracing back to Buddhist temple kitchens long before it spread into Western vegetarian cuisine. Because seitan is entirely wheat-based, anyone avoiding gluten needs a different option, unlike many meat alternatives made from soy or legumes.
