Garlic Pepper Seitan

“I just love seitan and there's only two other recipes for it on this site!! I thought I better add one of my recipes for others like me who love seitan and can't find any recipes for it. I use a lot of garlic, but it's not overwhelming at all. It had a very Asian smell and flavor to it which was not my initial intention, but it works great with noodles, stir fry's, over rice or with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans. Enjoy!”

Since the recipe did not say to drain the Seitan I did not. I believe this is the step the other commentors are missing. Also, as an experiment I threw in some cashews, and I liked the result.

I thought this recipe was delicious and so easy! The only change I made was to cut the olive oil in half because 1/4 cup seemed excessive and with the reduction I still found it to be absolutely delicious. I did the last part with the cornstarch but I didn't see the point as there was no liquid prior to adding the corn starch. Any insight?

Oh my goodness. This was just so fantastic. I made a big batch of homemade seitan earlier today so I was looking for a fabulous recipe for dinner tonight. This one caught my eye and I'm glad it did! I didn't have a pepper so I left that out. I was a little confused about the purpose of the cornstarch since there wasn't any liquid to thicken up, but I fixed that and made a gravy with some of the broth from the big pot of seitan and about a tablespoon of cornstarch. Brought it to a boil for a few seconds, then turned the temp down and simmered as instructed. I served it over baked potatoes with lots of veggies on the side. It was just the right amount of spicy, and the gravy made it taste like a nice, expensive, and fattening dish (but it wasn't expensive or fattening!). Yuuuummmmm.

This is an interesting recipe to say the least. While it does have ok flavor it does lack a certain aesthetic appeal. This was my first time using seitan and I wasn’t too happy w/ the results. Let’s just say the final results look the inside of a can of cat food. My meat-eating girlfriend wasn’t too happy when I cooked this although she said she liked it better than tofu. If you don’t mind seitan and have had it before then I suggest the recipe. If you haven’t had it before and looking to try something new I would avoid it.

This was delicious. It had a lot of spicy flavor, more than I would have guessed from the ingredients. (I did add more liquid to make a bit of extra sauce.) This immediately made our 'make again' list.

This is delicious and easy. I've made it more than once. The only thing I do that isn't in the recipe is to leave some of the broth from the seitan package for the sauce. Yum!
