5 minute meal- Seitan Stir Fry

So lately I've been cooking a lot with Westsoy brand Seitan.  It's SO good, very "meaty," and low in calories and sugar. It's a great substitute for beef or chicken.  I've used it in tacos, beef stew, and the other night I made stir fry veggies with it.  Stir fry is a super quick, healthy, and delicious meal.  It's great for those nights you want something good but either don't have the time, or just don't feel like cooking.  Make the brown rice ahead of time and this seriously takes about 5 minutes.

What You Will Need:
1 box seitan, I cut it into strips
1 bag frozen stir fry veggies, you could go fresh but Birds Eye sells a great stir fry blend- sugar snap peas, carrots, mushrooms, and onions.
2 cups brown rice, cooked
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (good source of calcium)
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder


  1. If you haven't already, cook the brown rice and set aside.
  2. In a big wok pan, heat the oil and then toss in the stir fry veggies and seitan.  Add the sesame seeds and garlic powder.  Cook until heated throughout.
  3. Serve over the brown rice, and drizzle the soy sauce on top.
So easy, quick, and delicious.
