    Hi,

    I'm wondering if anyone knows of anywhere in Ireland (Dublin preferably) that sells seitan.

    Hi,
    seitan is normally found in health food stores or in asian stores, where it is commonly known as "mock duck" or "mock abalone". It is simply fried gluten.

    I think one of the Veg*n Boardsies here has previously posted up directions on how to seperate the gluten from the rest of the wheat in flour, if you'd like to have a search.

    I get mine in the Dublin Food Co-op, in D.8 (near St. Patricks cathedral), 'cos its a flavoured, organic one - for just under a fiver but I've seen tins of mock duck in Holland and Barrett stores too.

    Thanks a million thoushalltnot,

    is the mock duck you buy already made up, or does it have to be made up.

    The mock duck is already cooked, in a tin. It can be quite greasy so I rinse it under the tap and give it a bit of a squeeze before using it. One nice way to use it in a stir fry is to coat pieces of it in seasoned cornflour then fry it until a bit crispy, remove from the wok and stir fry your veggies etc, add the seitan back in at the end.

    I've also found a german (i think) version in the health food shop at the top of camden st.
