Time 1h30m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup vital wheat gluten
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
½ cup vegetable broth
¼ cup liquid amino acid (such as Bragg®)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
4 cups vegetable broth
4 cups water
¼ cup tamari

Steps:

  • Stir vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, 1/2 cup vegetable broth, liquid amino acid, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl until ingredients come together into a ball. Knead ball until dough has a rubbery texture. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into 1/2-inch thick patties.
  • Bring 4 cups vegetable broth, water, and tamari to a boil in a large pot. Carefully place patties into boiling broth; cover pot and return to a boil. Set lid slightly askew to vent steam and reduce heat to low. Continue simmering patties until firm, turning patties occasionally, about 1 hour. Remove pot from heat and set lid aside. Allow patties to cool in broth for 15 minutes before serving.
