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.

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 ounces seitan
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons ginger, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
5 mushrooms, sliced
1 cup spinach
2 cups water or 2 cups stock
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 dash salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in saucepan. Add garlic and ginger and saute gently for one minute.
