Continuing with my obsession with Seitan :D This week I decided to twist a Tofu recipe around by replacing it with Seitan AND adding other goodies.
The original recipe “Broccoli-Tofu Stir Fry” comes from the book “Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home”. I really like this book even though it is not a vegan book. As said before I switched the recipe around to add other flavors and accommodate what I had and did not have at home
Ingredients:
Sauce
• 2/3 cup of water
• 3 tablespoon of rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoon of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
• 3-4 tablespoon of olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 14 oz of seitan
• 1 large head of broccoli cut into 1 inch florets
• 1/3 cup of water
• 1 white onion
• 1 cup of peas
Instructions:
Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Before beginning to stir fry prepare the vegetables and have all the ingredients at hand.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil on medium heat. Add the garlic and half of sliced white onion for 1 minute before adding the seitan. Continue to stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes until seitan is lightly brown. Remove the seitan and set it aside. Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet, heat for a few seconds and add the broccoli. Stir for a minutes and pour the water. Stir fry for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the sliced onion and peas continue to stir fry for another minute and then add the seitan and the sauce. Stir carefully and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3 or 4 minutes until the sauce thickens. Serve with brown rice.
