It is formed by mixing gluten raw materials and water according to a certain proportion, and then stirring to form. Gluten is a substance extracted from wheat flour and also contains a lot of protein.
Gluten is a kind of plant protein, which consists of gliadin and glutenin. Add a proper amount of water and a little salt to the flour, stir well to form a dough, and then rub it repeatedly with clear water to wash off all impurities such as starch in the dough, leaving gluten. Rub the oil gluten into a ball by hand, fry it in a hot oil pan until golden brown, and then take it out.
Put the washed gluten into a boiling pot and cook it for 80 minutes until it is cooked, that is, "water gluten".
