Seitan & Veggie Stir Fry (for the whole family)

I wanted to make Bibimbop, but given it was a weeknight and we had to run an errand before getting home, we needed something ASAP.  I had Seitan from making it earlier; the recipe from Veganomicon turned out great!  I put some white basmati rice on the stove, and while that was cooking got Arundhati's dinner ready:

Baby Stir Fry

• diced Seitan
• tips of diced baby broccoli

In the Mini-prep chopped:

• fresh shitake mushrooms
• fresh garlic cloves
• ginger (tiny wee bit of fresh peeled)
• onions
• carrot, peeled
• orange bell bepper

I sauteed this all in olive oil in the wok, and when it was almost done, added Bragg's Liquid Aminos and sugar to taste.  Fried that for a minute or so, then added in some cooked white rice.  We know she approves if we get a "num!"

Luckily, she isn't allergic to wheat or mushrooms.  An alternative would be use tofu and any other veggies your child likes.  Cooking a small batch like this in the wok makes everything just right - the right balance of crispy and soft, done to perfection.  Large quantities, and it seems things get soggy.


We are pretty much having the same thing for dinner, only changing the quantities and adding jalapeno peppers, rice wine vinegar, and maybe some other sauces for spicier flavor (but hers tasted great w/o it).  I'll probably also smother mine with Sriracha.  Debashis did throw in some fried spanish peanuts (cashews would work too), but you can omit this if you have a peanut or nut allergy.
