Yes, but there are two kinds of gluten. The one you are talking about is to wash the dough with water until the water turns into a white turbid liquid and the dough becomes a special dough. At this time, it can be steamed in a steamer, which can be steamed into the kind of soft gluten you said.

Another way is to boil it into small pieces and then take it out and fry it. The gluten made by this method has no holes in the middle, but it is chewy and delicious. Mostly used to mix cold dishes.

Gluten is the protein in flour.
