Method

If your seitan ‘chicken’ is destined for Hainanese 'chicken' rice, add a teaspoon of five spice powder to the dough before kneading for extra flavour.

In a food processor, blend all the ingredients except the vital wheat gluten until smooth. Pour out into a large bowl and sift in the wheat gluten. Stir well with a wooden spoon until a wet dough forms.
