1. 1

   Mix until a dense dough forms, adding more gluten flour if the blob feels wet.

2. 2

   Knead for a few minutes, but don't fold over.

4. 4

   Slice the gluten into about 10 chunks, after letting it rest for a few minutes.

5. 5

   Boil for approximately 1 hr. in a large pot, starting with about 10 c. of broth made of water plus 1/2 c. dry white wine, 1/4 c. soy sauce, nutritional yeast, garlic, and ginger.
