Sesame Seitan

Flexible and pretty fast to make if you already have seitan on hand.

Sesame Seitan

Ingredients:

1 lb diced seitan

1 red pepper, diced

¾ cup chopped mushrooms (or veggie of your choice: ¼ of a cauliflower, ¼ of broccoli head, 1 cup snow peas, etc.)

1 onion, diced

2 tbsp chopped ginger

3 tbsp sesame oil

1 cup seitan broth or vegetable broth

3 tbsp tahini

3 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

2 tsp sugar

2 tbsp cornstarch

3 tbsp water

Roasted sesame seeds for garnish

1. Heat 2 tbsp of sesame oil in a pan.  Add onion and sauté for about 4 minutes.  Then add ginger, red pepper, and mushrooms (or alternate vegetable) and sauté for another 4 or until all veggies are cooked but still crisp. 

2. In a small pan, mix the seitan broth, tahini, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and 1 tbsp of sesame oil.  In a separate bowl or measuring cup, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and mix until smooth.  Mix cornstarch/water mixture into the other sauce ingredients.  Heat on high, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.  Add seitan to vegetables and pour sauce over the whole thing.  Garnish with sesame seeds.
