Mandarin Seitan

Mandarin Seitan 


Serves 4-6
Total cook/prep time: 40 minutes + prep/cooking time for seitan itself.
  1. Double a recipe for seitan
  2. 2tbs vegetable oil
  3. 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
  4. 1 teaspoon pepper
  5. 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  6. 1/2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
  7. 1/4 cup soy sauce
  8. 2 tablespoons honey
  9. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  10. 2 1/4 teaspoons ground mustard
  11. 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

After the seitan is made, cut it into bite sized pieces. Fry these pieces in a large pan along with 2tbsp vegetable oil until crispy (10 mins). After this is done, remove from heat. 
Add all of the ingredients, save the seitan, in a loaf pan. Stir until well mixed and then add seitan. 
Bake at 350˚F for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to coat the seitan in the sauce.
Serve on a bed of plain rice.
This recipe is based off an existing recipe that can be found here

  1. I've really got to go find some wheat gluten and nutritional yeast so I can try seitan...

    When I do I'm trying this recipe! :)

  3. Maybe in Guelph, but I couldn't find it in the one here. :(

    I went to a natural foods store to get them though (I'm on a break b/w classes). What is a "reasonable price" for wheat gluten, anyway? I bought a 623 g (~5 cups) bag for $9 (~$1.45/100g).

  4. You should ask! Bulk Barns are supposed to have a standardized stock- I know a manager ;)
    I think we get it for cheaper than that... But I guess a reasonable price is whatever matches with your willingness to pay :)

  5. I know that the Bulk Barn in Timmins doesn't have the tabouli mix or vegetarian chili mix they used to have. They said there wasn't enough demand for it. I will try again though!

    Now I will stop monopolizing the comments on this post!
