Super meaty seitan meat substitute
A super meaty tasting seitan recipe that you can add to stir-fries, Chinese food recipes, vegetarian sub sandwiches or just gobble up right out of the pan. The combination of ingredients may seem a bit odd, but the salty soy sauce, tangy vinegar and sweet barbecue sauce all combine for a really meat-like flavor in this vegetarian and vegan seitan recipe.

Ingredients:

  • approx 1 pound seitan, sliced into strips or bite-sized chunks
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

Preparation:

Sautee seitan in oil over medium-low heat until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Add soy sauce, stirring to coat seitan well, then add vinegar, barbecue sauce and a tablespoon or two of water, stirring to mix well and coat seitan.

BBQ Seitan, Guest 40sumsis

This recipe was really good. I did add a little worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and liquid smoke. I used cubed seitan, but i think next time I'll use strips.
