Seitan, Mushroom, and Onion Stir-Fry

A great choice for hearty appetites, this convincingly dispels the notion that vegetarian cuisine is “rabbit food.”

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons light olive oil
2 large onions, quartered and sliced
10 to 12 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 to 1 1/2 pounds seitan, cut into bite-size chunks
3 to 4 tablespoons natural stir-fry sauce, or to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the onions and sauté over medium heat until golden.

    Step 2

    Add the mushrooms, cover, and cook until they are done to your liking, 5 to 7 minutes.

    Step 3

    Stir in the seitan and stir-fry sauce. Turn the heat up to medium-high and stir-fry until the seitan chunks are touched by golden-brown spots. Season to taste with pepper, and serve.
