6-8
ingredients
- 1 lb seitan, made into 2 inch strips
- 4 green bell peppers, chopped into large pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped into large pieces
- 5 cups gravy
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 cups jasmine rice, cooked
directions
- To get the most flavor out of this dish, I always make the seitan the day before. Cook the seitan bits in a large pan over medium heat with the vegetable oil until it starts to brown.
- Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Pour the 5 cups of gravy over the seitan and add more tamari to taste.
- Mix well, cover, and store in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next day, chop the vegetables and sautee in a wok or large pan over medium heat with the sesame oil. When the vegetables start to brown, add the bowl of gravy and seitan.
- Simmer the vegetables, seitan and gravy for 10-15 minutes, or until the seitan is heated through and the veggies have softened.
- While all of this is cooking, make the rice.
- Scoop rice onto a plate, spoon the Pepper Fake over and enjoy!

I've been vegan since February of 2005, and I was vegetarian for almost a year before that. I love cooking vegan food. People always ask me, "What do you eat?" or, "Doesn't being vegan make it harder to cook?" Nope! In fact, I've found that going vegan opened up a whole new world of cooking for me. I've tried ingredients I otherwise never would have heard of, and found vegan products that are even better than their non-vegan counterparts. I love creating new dishes and recipezaar has been a wealth of inspiration.
