GINGER BRAISED SEITAN



Ginger Braised Seitan image

A warm and hearty meal, full of ginger. I made this to mimic a non-vegetarian dish that a friend had in a Vietnamese restaurant. Serve it with rice to absorb all the juices.

SESAME GINGER VINAIGRETTE



Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette image

My decision to devote this week's recipes to salad dressings was partly a reaction to my son's request for a bottled sesame ginger dressing. "We don't buy dressings in this house," I said huffily. The next day I looked at a bottle of sesame soy ginger dressing at a local market and was horrified to see that the second listed ingredient was sugar. I thought: I can make something sort of sweet and do better than that. And so I did. This dressing is great with green salads and cooked vegetables, as well as with noodles and grains.
