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!

GARLIC PEPPER SEITAN



Garlic Pepper Seitan image

I just love seitan and there's only two other recipes for it on this site!! I thought I better add one of my recipes for others like me who love seitan and can't find any recipes for it. I use a lot of garlic, but it's not overwhelming at all. It had a very Asian smell and flavor to it which was not my initial intention, but it works great with noodles, stir fry's, over rice or with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans. Enjoy!

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
2 (8 ounce) packages chicken style seitan
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
salt to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and garlic, and cook, stirring until lightly browned. Increase the heat to medium, and add the green pepper and seitan to the pan, stirring to coat the seitan evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35 minutes in order for the seitan to absorb the flavors. Dissolve cornstarch in cold water, and stir into the skillet. Cook, stirring until thickened, and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around looking for things while you're cooking.
  • Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger has a much more intense flavor than ground ginger, so it's worth buying a fresh knob whenever you can. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't Overcook the Seitan: Seitan is a hearty protein that can easily become tough if it's overcooked. Cook it for just long enough to heat it through, about 10 minutes in the sauce.
  • Serve with Rice or Noodles: Seitan is a great protein to serve with rice or noodles. It's also delicious in stir-fries, soups, and salads. Choose whole wheat rice or noodles to add extra fiber to your meal.

Conclusion

This spicy ginger seitan recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this plant-based protein. The seitan is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with fresh ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. It's then served with rice or noodles, and topped with green onions and cilantro.
