This is a variation of a variation… Carolyn got the original idea online something like maybe https://www.reddit.com/r/veganrecipes/comments/onzrqt/15_minute_chinese_style_seitan/ perhaps?
4c gluten flour
1c regular flour
1t garlic powder
2t salt
1t garam masala
1T basil
2T rosemary
1/4 c oil
2c water. Mix. 1 more cup water. Mix. 1/2 c water. Mix again.
Knead a bit to mush it all up. Rest it an hour or so.
Cut/rip into small bits. Brown on pan. Be patient! Must brown! Color should shift.
Make a broth. About 4c water, 1T salt, 1/4c mushroom powder. Any broth is fine.
Let steam in broth, covered.
Remove lid and let rest of water/broth soak up.
Chill. Use as needed later!
