Seitan in Peanut Sauce or Vegetarian Gai Tua

Recipesfull introduces to you: Vegan Recipes. (Seitan in Peanut Sauce or Vegetarian Gai Tua). This is a delicious modification of a classic Thai dish! You've probably had the chicken version if you're a meat eater, and I'm sure you could substitute meat for the seitan, however, I urge you to give the seitan a try. Seitan is a meat substitute made from wheat gluten. Seitan comes the closest to real meat that a vegetarian or vegan can have. Seitan really picks up the flavor of whatever marinade it's put into. If you've ever had 'mock duck' at a Thai restaurant, then you've had seitan before. It can be found at natural food or Asian food stores.

Step 1

Combine the ginger garlic and curry paste in small bowl. Slowly pour in 1/4 cup coconut milk; stirring until the mixture is smooth. Gently stir in the seitan coating the seitan with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The longer you let it soak the more flavorful the seitan will taste!

Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray; add the chopped onion; cook over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion is tender. Stir in the seitan and cook until the seitan is heated through about 7 minutes. Pour in the sauce and stir to combine. Mix in the spinach and green onions; cook 3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the spinach is cooked.
