cashew seitan

Greetings! Here is a recipe for a super easy vegan meal I made tonight! The following recipe will serve 2.

You will need:

1 cup brown rice
1 bok choy
garlic (as much as you want)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 package of seitan
2 cups whole cashews
the juice of 2 oranges
a little zest from one orange (preferably organic)
1-2 tsps maple syrup
dash of soy sauce

1. Put the rice on to cook in 2 cups of water.

2. In a wok, saute the chopped garlic in the sesame oil, adding the cashews when the garlic is getting brown.

3. When the cashews are looking beautiful and brown, add the orange zest and half of the orange juice

4. Add the seitan, chopped to your liking, and let this mixture saute, brown, and get acquainted.

5. Add the chopped bok choy, the maple syrup, the rest of the orange juice, and the soy sauce. I threw in some chunks of orange for some extra texture and flavor.

6. When the bok choy is a beautiful dark green color, it's done!

You should get a light, yet hearty well-textured meal that is a pleasing blend of sweet and savory!

Serve over rice, and enjoy!
