NOTES : When you start with a package of seitan, a nutritious, meatless stir-fry

is a snap. Seitan, pronounced say-tan, is a high-protein vegetarian product made

from wheat, though its texture can fool even some carnivores. Seitan is sold in

convenient refrigerated packages containing precooked seitan pieces in a

soy-based marinade. It is available in natural food stores and some well-stocked

supermarkets. If you add a thickening agent, the marinade becomes a stir-fry

sauce. Seitan contains no fat or cholesterol, and requires only brief reheating

when used in any recipe. It can be ground into small pieces in a food processor

to use in chili, lasagna, or any recipe that calls for ground beef.
