Seitan is often called "wheat meat" by vegetarians, and it is quite
delicious. It is available already made in health food stores in a package
much like the kind Tofu comes in.
Luckily where I live they sell it fresh in a big bucket in a refrigerator
case. You help yourself to a chunk with tongs and put it in a conveniently
located plastic bag, then they charge you for it by the weight.
I have cut it up into pieces in stir fry, and I have had it in a vegetarian
restaurant served with horseradish sauce over brown rice.
I have no idea whatsoever what the carb count is on it.

These are good ideas, thx.

A well prepared, homemade saitan is supposed to be between 5 and 9g of
carb per 100g serving.
Actually, you are supposed to take all of the starch from it. Last
washing should show clear water (water must turn white anymore).
So there shouldn't be any carb at all in a "perect" Seitan, am I right?
But you can have a look here

Anyway, I ate some yesterday, and I am still showing purple ketostix.
