(from walowrey’s recipe box)

This recipe is pretty flexible. Broccoli, asparagus, or another vegetable will stand in nicely. Noodles could substitute for rice. Orange juice will cover for clementine. This is a great recipe to adapt to use your favorite ingredients, or at least the ones you have sitting in your fridge at the moment.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces seitan, sliced
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 6-8 organic broccolini stalks
  • 2 organic clementines
  • 1 tbsp organic vegetable oil
  • Japanese Seven Spice (optional)

Directions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice in cool water and drain.

  2. Cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stove according to package directions. One cup of sushi rice is usually cooked in 1 1/4 cups of water. Allow the rice to cook completely and to steam for 5-10 minutes off the heat while preparing the rest of the meal. Total cooking time for the rice will be around 20 minutes.

  3. While the sauce and the rice are cooking, prepare the seitan and broccolini. Slice the seitan into 1/8″ thick medallions, or something similar. Rinse and chop off the ends of the broccolini; if the stalks are particularly thick, you may wish to half them lengthwise. This shouldn’t be the case with most bunches you find in the store, however.

  4. Heat a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium high heat.

  5. Add the seitan and let brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  6. Remove to a bowl, turn up the heat to high, and add broccolini in one layer.

  7. Once you get color on one side, flip, reduce heat to low, and cover the pan to finish the cooking, another 2-3 minutes. The broccolini should be bright green and cooked to a tender-crisp.

  8. Once you are ready to serve, add the seitan to the pan with the broccolini. Drizzle enough teriyaki sauce in to coat everything. Beware, if the pan is too hot you risk burning your sauce, so take good care here.

  9. Once everything is heated and covered in a nice glaze, serve immediately with the sushi rice.

  10. Top with seven spice if you like a little heat.

  11. This sauce is strong so you just need enough to coat — save any extra for a future meal.
