Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tsp vegetable oil ((I used grapeseed oil))
1/2 tsp minced or grated ginger
3 cloves minced or grated garlic
1/3 tsp Chinese five spice ((optional))
1/3 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce ((see note))
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp coconut sugar ((or use a scant 1/2 cup brown sugar))
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water
1 and 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil ((I used grapeseed oil))
1 lb homemade seitan ((16 oz.) (or use store-bought seitan), cut into 1-inch pieces)
toasted sesame seeds ((optional))
sliced scallions ((optional))

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic; stir constantly. After 30 seconds, add the five spice (if using) and red pepper flakes, and cook for 30-60 seconds more, until fragrant.
  • Add the soy sauce and coconut sugar and stir well. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and let simmer until the coconut sugar is dissolved and slightly reduced, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Whisk together the cornstarch and cold water, then add it to the pan and stir. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, until the sauce becomes glossy and thickened slightly. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and keep simmering gently until ready to add to the seitan.
  • In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the seitan and cook, stirring frequently, for about 4-5 minutes or until slightly browned and crisped around the edges.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the sauce to the pan. Stir to coat all of the seitan pieces, and continue cooking until the sauce has adhered to the seitan. Remove from the heat and serve hot, with rice and/or vegetables of choice, and garnished with sesame seeds and scallions if desired.

SPICY SEITAN



Spicy Seitan image

This is the seitan recipe I came up with after looking at two fairly popular recipes (http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2008/06/veggie-lunch-meat.html and http://www.postpunkkitchen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15959&p=1). This recipe makes a nice sized (7 to 8 inches I suppose) sausage like loaf and can probably be easily changed to your taste based on what spices you use. Note: if you want it to be more like the former recipe (like lunch meat) cook it longer (30-45 mins steaming, 45 mins baking), if you're looking for a nice ground beef substitute 30-35 mins steaming, then another 30-35 mins baking is better. I've used the longer cooked seitan in stuffing and the lesser cooked in dirty rice. Both were thoroughly enjoyed by all involved! I hope you enjoy it too!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than dried or ground ginger. For this recipe, you will need about 1 tablespoon of minced fresh ginger.
  • Choose the right seitan: Look for seitan that is labeled as "firm" or "extra firm." This will ensure that the seitan has a chewy texture that can withstand being stir-fried.
  • Cut the seitan into thin strips: This will help the seitan to cook evenly and absorb the sauce better.
  • Marinate the seitan: Marinating the seitan in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil will help to tenderize the seitan and add flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to create a nice sear on the seitan and prevent it from sticking.
  • Stir-fry the seitan in small batches: This will help to prevent the seitan from overcrowding the pan and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help to ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and tender.
  • Serve the spicy ginger seitan over rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

This spicy ginger seitan is a delicious and easy-to-make vegan dish. It is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The seitan is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, then stir-fried with ginger, garlic, and vegetables. The result is a dish that is packed with flavor and sure to please everyone at your table.
