About Braised gluten

Braised Gluten, also known as wheat gluten or “mien jin,” is a versatile plant-based food made from wheat flour dough. Originating in Chinese cuisine, it has been embraced across various Asian culinary traditions. The preparation involves washing wheat dough to remove the starch, leaving behind stretchy, protein-rich gluten. It is then seasoned, shaped, and braised in sauces to enhance flavor and texture. Praised for its meaty consistency, braised gluten is a favorite in vegetarian and vegan dishes as a protein substitute. Nutritionally, it offers a high protein content along with low fat. However, it's important to note that it may be unsuitable for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. While nutritious, it can sometimes be high in sodium, depending on preparation and sauces. Braised Gluten's adaptability in recipes makes it both a flavorful and functional ingredient in plant-forward diets.
