The reason being that China and Asia in general seems to unearth all of these meat substitutes is due to the population of Buddhists.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://asparagusthin.blogspot.com/2008/11/gluten-free-gluten.html">To a celiac, however, eating seitan is a death wish. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://asparagusthin.blogspot.com/2008/11/gluten-free-gluten.html">So after much thought, much contemplation - I have come to a conclusion and an answer to the seitan longing within which turns out to be the greatest oxymoron ever. I give you, gluten free seitan. The essential component as opposed to vital wheat gluten is a combination of rice flour, tapioca starch, and garbanzo flour. In India, garbanzo bean flour is made into dumplings for various curries or dishes. Rice flour is made into a variety of baked goods, dumplings, and coatings for items throughout all Asia. Tapioca starch is a starch drawn from yuca or cassava is used in African entrees.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://asparagusthin.blogspot.com/2008/11/gluten-free-gluten.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/asparagusthin.blogspot.com/img/62D9E871-058E-466D-9FD5-773CB86D3417" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C5686368-166F-4147-B3FA-8E474D079D01/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
