Vegan Seitan + Broccoli Stir Fry on a Budget

1 · Oct 15, 2020 ·

Let’s get one thing off the table: seitan may just be the single most underrated meat alternative out there. And I think I know why: because it’s basically just gluten! And people are afraid of gluten. However, unless you have celiac disease, eating seitan shouldn’t be a problem. The chewy, savory ingredient is often used in Asian vegan recipes, and most of the times you can’t even tell you’re not eating meat. 

Speaking of seitan and Asian vegan food, we’ve got all of these things in today’s recipe! It’s an easy stir fry you can make on a budget, and it’s not just protein-packed, but also full of flavor. You can use teriyaki marinade or a Korean barbecue sauce for an equally tasty (yet slightly different!) result. 

Seitan and Broccoli Stir Fry

Vegan Seitan + Broccoli Stir Fry on a Budget 

We found this recipe in a cookbook that settles a controversial issue once and for all: no, being a vegan doesn’t mean you have to be rich. And yes, you can eat a plant-based diet on a budget.

The book is called ‘Vegan on a Budget: 125 Healthy, Wallet-Friendly, Plant-Based Recipes’ by Nava Atlas, and it’s chock full of great tricks for eating healthy yet frugal. From meal planning tips that save money and smart shopping, to preventing food waste and, of course, cooking over 100 delicious vegan recipes, this book is an excellent guide for those making the switch to a vegan diet. “Atlas supplies an arsenal of tips on the best plant-based protein bargains for the buck; buying in bulk; safe and inexpensive non-organic fruits and vegetables; coupons for natural foods; saving with apps (…); cheaper ready-made vegan sauces and condiments as good as made-from-scratch; and much more.”

Intrigued? You can find the book on amazon or wherever you like to shop for books. As for the mouthwatering seitan and broccoli stir fry, scroll down for the full recipe!

Course Main Dish
Cuisine Asian, vegetarian
Keyword seitan, vegetarian
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon safflower or another neutral vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 pound seitan cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 medium broccoli crowns cut into bitesized pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 2 to 3 scallions sliced
  • ¼ cup teriyaki marinade or Korean barbecue marinade plus more for serving
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh or squeeze bottle ginger
  • Hot cooked rice or noodles
  • Sriracha or another hot sauce optional

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil and soy sauce in a stir-fry pan or large skillet. Add the seitan and stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes, or until touched with golden-brown spots here and there. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

  2. Add the broccoli, bell peppers, and scallions to the same pan, with a little water to keep the vegetables moist. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender-crisp.

  3. Return the seitan to the pan, along with the teriyaki or Korean barbecue marinade and ginger. Stir together with the vegetables, then stir-fry for just a minute or so longer.

  4. Serve at once over cooked rice or noodles. Pass around additional teriyaki or Korean barbecue marinade for seasoning individual portions, as well as the sriracha, if desired.
