Looks tasty! D you think regular wheat flour would work in place of wheat starch? White flour is just starch and gluten left, so it should have similar results?
You may use wheat flour in place of wheat starch in the absence of wheat starch. The result would yield a slightly harder texture on the barbecue seitan.
Where to look for wheat gluten powder or seitan powder in Melaka? Thanks
You should be able to find wheat gluten powder in most of the bakery & pastry supply stores.
请问什么是面筋粉，感恩
麵筋由麵團裡的不溶於水的各种蛋白质——麸质组成，通常由小麦、大麦等谷物中所提取，如果把麵團放於水裡沖洗，當把所有可被水冲走的物質沖走後，剩下的就是麵筋。
抱歉，沒有完整的回答您的問題。面筋粉摻水之後便形成面筋團。因此就免了洗面團的麻煩。如果不曉得哪裡可以買到面筋粉的話，您可以去賣糕餅的料理店試試。
謝謝。
