I simply substitute seitan for be*f in the me*t-eaters recipes for this kind of

thing.

 

Slice your seitan (or tofu or whatever) thinly and marinate for an hour in a mix

of soysauce and sherry if you like sherry to which you've added some finely

chopped garlic and ginger. A pinch of cayenne for those who want it.

 

Give it as long as you can in this mix and then slice up a little green onion

(cut

lengthways first, then crossways at an angle at about half-inch interfals) and

more garlic and ginger if you think it's a good idea ;=)

 

Put your oil in a large skillet with any added garlic and ginger and add the

drained seitan/tofu, stirring quickly. Lower the heat a bit and add another dash

of sherry or rice wine or whatever and cover for a minute or two. Add the

marinade liquid.

 

To thicken the sauce, make a light mixture of cornstarch and water and add a

bit at a time, stirring all the while, until you've got it the way you want it.

 

Add the green onions and anything else you fancy goes in this - such as a

smattering of (canned) bamboo shoots and/or thinly sliced water chestnuts -

and warm them in the sauce.

 

Probably won't be what you had, but it should taste okay ;=)

 

Best,

pinch of sugar. I don't, so I forgot to say. sorry.
