Sweet and Sour Seitan image

This is a tasty vegetarian version of a Chinese classic. You won't even be able to tell it isn't chicken! Seitan is made from wheat gluten and is very high in protein and low in fat. I recommend using a chicken-style variety.

The seitan was a bit dry, but the sauce was really good. I think I'll try adding some vegetables to the dish next time.

The seitan was a bit tough, but the sauce was really good. I think I'll try cooking the seitan for a shorter amount of time next time.
