Saucy Seitan

• One batch of homemade seitan, or two boxes of store-bought seitan
• I onion, sliced
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• marinade ingredients:
• 6 T soy sauce (definitely use low sodium since there is a lot of soy sauce in this recipe)
• 6 T sherry
• sauce ingredients:
• 1/2 cup + 1 T soy sauce
• 4 1/2 T corn starch
• 3 T sugar
• 4 1/2 t white vinegar
• optional garnishes – cashews and scallions
• olive oil for cooking

Combine soy sauce and sherry and marinate seitan in it for an hour.

Discard marinade and saute seitan over medium high heat in a little olive oil until brown on both sides.  Remove from pan.

Saute onion and garlic in 1 T olive oil for 5 minutes.

In a small bowl combine sauce ingredients.  Add sauce to onions and garlic in the pan.  Stir for a few minutes as it thickens.  If sauce is too thick for your liking, add vegetable stock 1 T at a time.

Return seitan to pan.  Let warm through.  Garnish with chopped scallions and cashew nuts.
