Add Step-by-Step Photos	Boofie / All my dishes 2 years, 5 months ago Chunks of crispy, fried seitan and veggies smothered in a tangy sweet and sour sauce. Feel free to mix in some fresh, lightly sauteed veggies. I like to eat mine served over brown rice or over greens and use the sauce lightly as a dressing! Prep:15m Cook:10m Servings:2	Boofie

Ingredients

Seitan:

1 pk traditional seitan (wheat gluten), cut into bite sized chunks

1.5 c flour

1/2 c water

1/4 c nutritional yeast

1/4 c hoisin sauce (honey and anchovie free)

2 tbsp baking powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying

****************************************

Sweet n Sour Sauce:

1/3 c white vinegar

1/3 c brown sugar

1/4 c ketchup

2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 4 tsp cold water

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp cayenne

Crush pineapple tidbits (optional)

Directions

For the seitan:

Mix flour, baking powder, nutritional yeast, and salt or pepper in average bowl.

In separate bowl, mix water and hoisin sauce until blended. Coat seitan pieces in hoisin sauce mixture.**

Coat seitan (having already been in hoisin sauce mixture) with flour mixture.

Cook seitan in oil over med-high in large skillet. Turn pieces after a couple minutes or when golden brown.

When done, remove pieces from oil and drain on paper towel.

**You could simply use water, terryaki sauce, or veggie broth, or even other sauces (I like mustard, bbq, or ketchup) depending on the flavor you want the seitan to have.

For the sauce:

Mix together all ingredients except pineapple (if using) and cornstarch/water and bring to a boil in a small pot.

Add cornstarch and water mixture and stir until sauce reaches desired thickness. Remember, it will further thicken once it cools.

Add pineapple (or whatever else you may like).

This looks yummy and I will admit, I have never heard of seitan/wheat gluten. I'm sure it's a great substitute for those who cannnot eat Soy curd. Thank you for the recipe! Cheers!!!

I made the sweet & sour sauce to go with some fried tofu I made. It was quite good, but I found it to be too vinegary. I think I will try making this with 1/3rd the vinegar and replace the other 2/3rds with pineapple juice.
