| and it was darn good! To be honest if I fed this to you without letting you know there was no meat in it you would not know. The seitan has the texture of pork and is very filling. I have seen many meat lovers fooled by this wheat protein.
I would say this recipe is fairly healthy although it may get a bit high in sodium. Substitute low sodium sauce (soy and hoisin) and this would be lower in sodium. There is a large amount of sauce made by this recipe but it is primarily vegetable stock (once again low sodium) I also substituted snap peas instead of broccoli.
Chinese Vegetable and Hoisin Stir-Fry
Chinese style vegetable stir-fry, made with a hoisin-based sauce is a quick and simple vegetarian and vegan stir-fry with a distinct Asian flavor. Though the recipe calls for seitan, you could substitute tofu with good results and vary the vegetables used as well. This stir-fry has plenty of sauce, so serve over rice or noodles.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
* 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
* 1 tbsp sesame oil+ 2 tbsp
* 2 tbsp soy sauce + 2 tbsp
* 1 tbsp rice vinegar
* 2 tbsp sugar or liquid sweetener
* 3/4 cup vegetable broth
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
* 1 tbsp corn starch
* approx. 1 cup seitan, chopped into 1 inch pieces
* 3-4 green onions, chopped
* 1 red or yellow bell pepper
* approx 2 cups broccoli, chopped
Preparation:
In a small saucepan, whisk together hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, vegetable broth, garlic, ginger and corn starch over medium heat. Allow to simmer until mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
In a large wok or skillet, stir-fry seitan in 2 tbsp sesame oil and 2 tbsp soy sauce until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Add onions, pepper and broccoli and stir-fry another 2-3 minutes.
Add sauce mixture to the stir-fry and combine well, allowing to cook another 2-3 minutes, until broccoli is done cooking.
Serve your Chinese vegetable stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
