LAURA'S GENERAL TSO'S SEITAN

Laura's General Tso's Seitan image

I got this recipe from Laura (aka "amorsalado" on LJ), and it's a great recipe she once cooked that her non-vegetarian husband told her she could make for him anytime. It convinced him of the tastiness of vegetarian food. :) She said, "This General Tso's recipe was what sold him, and it's so easy, too!"

Categories Soy/Tofu

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 lb seitan, in strips
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 garlic cloves, minced or 1 teaspoon minced garlic, to taste
1 teaspoon peeled and minced gingerroot
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 large eggs or 1/4 cup egg white, beaten lightly
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 dried hot red chiles, seeded (and veins taken out, if you want extra heat removed)
cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

In a bowl combine the soy sauce, vinegar, 1/2 cup water, sugar, garlic, and ginger root.
In another bowl, combine the egg and cornstarch and dip the seitan pieces.
Heat the oil in a wok or deep, heavy skillet until very hot, add the seitan and fry it for 4 to 6 minutes, or until it is crisp-ish. (This was so much better after I finally broke down and bought a wok. It really does make a huge difference!).
Add the soy sauce mixture and the chile peppers and cook the mixture over moderately high heat for 2 minutes, or until heated through. (I usually bring the sauce to a boil after I've poured it on, and then reduce the heat to simmer until it's as thick as I want it. It takes about five minutes, because I like the sauce pretty thick.).
Serve with cooked rice and enjoy!
Laura says: "This is more than enough for the three of us with left overs the next day, and it's really yummy. I'm actually not much of a chef, so I tend to keep it simple and quick.".
