Ingredients

• Vital wheat gluten - 100 grams
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, black pepper, and chili flakes.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, and vegetable broth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Knead the mixture for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes elastic.
