Implementation Steps
01
Knead the dough
Put the flour in a large basin and divide 350 ml water into small amounts. Add the water a little at a time while kneading until you have a smooth, pliable dough that doesn't stick to your hands. Cover and let the dough rest for about 1 hour.

02
Wash the dough
Add water and start washing the dough. As you wash, knead and squeeze it to remove all the starch. Repeat 5–6 times, changing the water each time. When the water runs clear, put the dough in a colander to drain. Then put it in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and let it rest for 1 hour.

03
Wrap the dough
Take the dough out of the bag and place it on a flat surface. Cut it into equal pieces. Brush some chopsticks with cooking oil to prevent sticking, then take 2 pairs and lay them in opposite directions.
Gently stretch the dough and wind it around the chopsticks until it's all used, tucking the end between the 2 pairs to secure it. Take another 2 pairs of chopsticks and repeat until all the dough is used.

04
Boil the seitan
Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the dough still wrapped around the chopsticks and boil for 15 minutes. Lift out and plunge straight into cold water. When the seitan has cooled, gently push it off the chopsticks by hand – it's done.

05
The finished dish
Since no other ingredients are used for colour, the finished seitan is naturally ivory or slightly yellowish. That makes it a safe food, free of the additives you might worry about in store-bought versions.
