Today, my family’s circle is a vegetarian circle, which is made with water and gluten. Water gluten is to add salt and water to the flour, adjust the dough, gently wash the dough with your hands in a basin filled with water, change the water from time to time to wash out the essence in the flour, until the dough is dark in color and feels weak Sticky hands. Then put the washed gluten into a boiling water pot and cook, this is "water gluten". It is a kind of plant-based protein. Its nutritional content, especially protein content, is higher than that of lean pork, chicken, eggs and most soy products. It is a high-protein, low-fat, low-sugar, and low-calorie food. The effect of antipyretic, quenching polydipsia. The thick oil red sauce boiled with water gluten today is actually what we usually call vegetarian meat. The sauce red pigment circle with the green grass head, is it very similar?

5. Grass head wash

7. Out of the pot and plate

8. Cook water gluten until the juice is thick

9. Put it out of the pot on the grass head

Tips:
Because some seasonings such as soybean paste are added to the water gluten, the amount of salt must be controlled. My water gluten is relatively firm, so it is not easy to taste. When stewing, I use chopsticks to make holes on it to help it taste. It’s best to buy water gluten with a hole in the middle, to make the finished product more similar and easier to taste
