Peanut Sauce Seitan with Spinach
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red curry paste
  • 1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk, divided
  • 1 (16 ounce) package chicken-style seitan, cut into strips or cubes
  • 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetarian oyster sauce
  • 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
Instructions
1
Combine ginger, garlic, and curry paste in a small bowl to create a marinade. Gradually add 1/4 cup of coconut milk, stirring continuously until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Gently incorporate seitan into the marinade, ensuring it's evenly coated. Allow the mixture to refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, with longer marinating times yielding a more flavorful seitan.
2
In another bowl, whisk together the remaining coconut milk, peanut butter, sugar, vegetable oil, tamari, chili garlic sauce, and oyster sauce. Don't worry about achieving a perfectly blended mixture; the ingredients will meld together beautifully during cooking. Set the sauce aside for later use.
3
Preheat a large skillet over high heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it's tender. Introduce the seitan into the skillet and cook until heated through, approximately 7 minutes. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to combine. Add the spinach and green onions, cooking for an additional 3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the spinach is cooked.
