Servings: 0
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
Seitan
- 1 ½ cup wheat gluten
- 1 15-oz package silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon no-chik'n seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Orange Sauce
- ½-¾ cup orange juice about 3 oranges
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
Seitan
- Start a pot of boiling water and insert a slightly oiled steamer.
- Put all ingredients in food processor and process until well mixed and doughy.
- Cut dough into pieces, 6 to 8, or 16 to 20 nuggets.
- Steam 30 minutes, flipping half-way.
- Another way to cook them is to drop into boiling seasoned water for 20 minutes, then bake at 425° for 20 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. I cook the nuggets this way.
Orange Sauce
- Mix together all the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch and water.
- Then whisk together the cornstarch and water in a separate bowl before adding to the other ingredients. Whisk to combine.
- Add the seitan to the sauce. Let simmer 1 to 2 minutes as the sauce thickens and coats the seitan.
Notes
Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with rice and a green vegetable like broccoli or green beans or assorted stir-fry vegetables.
