Homemade Seitan

Combine wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, garlic and onion in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (or in a large bowl). Whisk 1 cup broth and miso in a medium bowl (or large measuring cup); add to the dry mixture. Mix on medium-low until elastic, about 3 minutes (or knead by hand in the bowl until elastic, 3 to 5 minutes), adding more broth if the dough is too dry. Shape into two 3-by-5-inch loaves.

Transfer the loaves to a large saucepan. Add the remaining broth, ginger and enough water to cover the loaves; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until firm, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat, uncover and let stand for 15 minutes. Transfer to a colander to cool.
