Vegetarian Crock Pot Chow Mein with Seitan

This Chinese chow mein recipe with seitan is a vegetarian crock pot recipe that you can prepare in the morning and leave in the crock pot all day. I don't really like water chestnuts, so sometimes I add cashews during the last few minutes of cooking instead. You may want to serve this vegetarian chow mein over rice.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound seitan, chopped
• 4 stalks celery, chopped
• 3 carrots, diced or grated
• 6 scallions (green onions), sliced
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 - 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, to taste
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1/2 cup bean sprouts
• 1 8 ounce can water chestnuts, sliced
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/3 cup water

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients, except the cornstarch and water in a slow cooker or crock pot. Cover and allow to cook for 6 to 8 hours on low heat.

After 6 - 8 hours, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Add to crock pot, stirring well. Cover partially, and allow to cook for another 15 minutes.

Serve over rice.
