I use the traditional ones made from natural proteins: tofu, made from soya beans, and seitan, from wheat gluten. Tofu can be delicate ‘silken’, medium firm, firm, extra firm, marinated, or smoked. They all have their uses in different recipes. You don’t need a tofu press, you can simply buy the firm or extra firm varieties. Wheat protein, or seitan, has a chewy texture. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for cooking, or buy it already prepared: I like a canned one by granovita which is somewhat unfortunately named ‘Mock Duck’.
