  4. Let stand for at least 5 minutes while preparing broth.

Broth:

  • 5 cups Water (or use vegetable broth)
  • spices or 2-3 veggie cubes – something to add a nice broth flavor

Directions:

  1. Bring to boil.
  2. Add *cut up seitan pieces to the broth – one by one!
  3. bring to simmer for 60-90 minutes depending on sizes of seitan
    * cut up seitan into small bite-sized pieces. The pieces will expand in the broth – to nearly twice their original size.
