How to Make Ginger Braised Seitan
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/4 cup grated fresh ginger; sauté gently for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add 8 ounces firm seitan, cut into 1-inch cubes, and 1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced, and sauté until the seitan begins to brown slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Add 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, partially cover the saucepan, and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- Stir in 2 cups of baby spinach.
- If desired, create a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of cold water. Stir the slurry into the broth to thicken.
- Cook uncovered for another minute, or until the spinach is wilted and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
- Serve hot over steamed rice.
