Homemade Seitan
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the onion and cook for 5–6 minutes, until softened and lightly golden. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the potatoes and carrots and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.
Step 5
Break the Japanese Golden Curry roux into cubes and add them to the pot. Stir until completely dissolved and the sauce becomes smooth and velvety.
Step 6
Add the seitan and simmer for another 5–10 minutes, allowing it to heat through and absorb the curry flavor.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed. Add soy sauce or grated apple if desired.
Step 8
Serve over steamed rice and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, or chili oil.
