Knead until dough has a rubbery texture. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into 1/2-inch-thick patties. Combine remaining 4 cups vegetable broth, water, and tamari in a large pot; bring to a boil. Carefully lower patties into boiling broth; cover the pot and return to a boil. Set the lid slightly askew to vent steam and reduce the heat to low. Continue simmering, turning occasionally, until patties are firm, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat and uncover the pot. Allow patties to cool in broth for 15 minutes before serving. Tips This recipe makes roughly one pound of seitan. You can store the seitan with the broth in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Don't discard the broth — it makes a rich soup base! Editor's Note: The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of broth. The actual amount of broth consumed will vary.
