- Add Protein Powder: Add pea protein powder to the food processor and pulse briefly to combine.
- Form Seitan Dough: Gradually add vital wheat gluten and water in 50g increments, pulsing after each addition. Stop when dough wraps around the blades and becomes slightly fibrous. Adjust water if needed.

- Wrap and Steam: Wrap each log tightly in baking paper, then foil. Steam for 1 hour, or until firm.

Notes
- You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor while blending.
- Adjust the amount of water slightly if the dough is too dry or too wet.
