Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Seitan
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
- 2 cups Cabbage, shredded
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 3 Scallions, chopped
- 0.5 cup Cilantro, roughly chopped
- 4 Tortillas, large
- Tibetan-inspired sauce (see instructions for ingredients)
- 1 tsp Chili paste (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced ginger and garlic, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the seitan to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.
Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and chili paste (if using). Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the seitan is well coated in the sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate skillet or wok, heat the remaining sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Add shredded cabbage and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Tibetan-inspired sauce by mixing 1/2 cup plain vegan yogurt, 1 tablespoon tahini, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over the stove flame for a few seconds on each side until pliable.
To assemble the burritos, spread a generous spoonful of the Tibetan-inspired sauce down the center of each tortilla.
Layer with the cooked seitan, stir-fried vegetables, a sprinkle of chopped scallions, and cilantro.
Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you roll, to create a sealed burrito.
Serve immediately, or wrap in foil to keep warm for later. These burritos pair well with a side of steamed dumplings or a light green salad.
