An ancient cooking technique that creates vegan 'chicken' using only two ingredients has gone viral this week.
Videos have been appearing all over TikTok since one social media user posted a recipe of the shredded meat substitute.
Taking only flour and water - and a bit of time and effort - it's possible to create a surprisingly meaty-looking dish.
One user noted 'THIS IS WITCHCRAFT, sis turned water into CHICKENNNN' and others have said it's 'magic'.
The recipe results in a meat-like chicken substitute known as seitan, which is widely available in supermarkets but many say they didn't know you could make at home so simply.
Seitan, essentially wheat gluten, can be traced all the way back to 6th century China and is commonly seen across modern-day China, Vietnam and Japan.
A video posted by TikTok user Futurelettuce has been viewed more than eight million times since it was posted at the weekend.
Food blogger Nature Kimberley then picked up on it and posted a full recipe on her website.
She says to take three cups of flour (ideally bread flour), 300ml water, and a lot of seasoning as seitan is naturally quite bland.
You mix together the flour and water, knead it into a smooth dough, then cover and let it rest for an hour - then the magic begins.
Put the dough ball into a bowl in the sink, fill it with water, and begin to squeeze and knead the dough underwater. The water should turn milky.
Keep repeating this step, pouring away and replacing the water, until the water starts to clear and the seitan is stretchy and resembles chewing gum.
What you have done is wash away all the starch from the flour, leaving only the protein.
From this point, you can add your seasoning, keep kneading and stretching the dough, then twist it around and knot it.
Fry the knotted dough in a hot pan with oil until it browns, then cover with vegetable stock and boil for 45 minutes.
Once cooked, it should shred away like perfectly-cooked chicken.
Earlier this month it was a five-ingredient feta pasta that was taking social media by storm.
People have also been sharing their takes on a porridge hack that's like 'having cake for breakfast'.
