Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g seitan
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (for broth)
- 200 g rice noodles
- 150 g broccoli
- 1 medium carrots
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tbsp cilantro
- 100 g bean sprouts
Instructions
Slice the seitan into thin strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Toss the seitan strips in the mixture and allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the marinated seitan and cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another 1 tbsp sesame oil and sauté the broccoli florets and thinly sliced carrot (cut into matchsticks) for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Bring 4 cups of vegetable broth to a simmer in a large pot. Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce and toss in the red chili flakes.
Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, drain, and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.
To assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice noodles among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with sautéed vegetables, cooked seitan, and a handful of bean sprouts.
Pour the hot broth over each bowl and garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and a wedge of lime on the side. Serve immediately and enjoy!
