These were delicious. However, I didn't use seitan--I used "Give me lean sausage syle" for the protein (this is a soy concentrate product). And I agree with the other comment that soy sauce dip adds to the flavors.

There was more prep involved than I usually like. Thank goodness for my food processor. The only change I made in the preparation was using ginger paste rather than fresh ginger, out of sheer laziness. I had smaller tortillas, so the recipe made about 10 burritos. I used sambal oelek for the chili paste, and the result was quite spicy. Essentially this was like mu-shu. I found a little splash of soy sauce was a good addition, though my family ate the burritos as-is. Good recipe for a change of pace.

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review. Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore. I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck. Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine. No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
