The next time you grab for the take-out menu to your go-to vegetarian or vegan restaurant, DON’T ORDER. Just remember this meal and make it. I promise you will not be disappointed.
One of the easiest and tastiest recipes I think we make. This Mongolian “beef” is amazing. Better than any seitan dish I have had in any restaurant. The deep flavors that come from the browned seitan combined with the fresh vegetables cooked to perfection with a slight bite and finally the dried chilies that bring this meal to another level. It doesn’t matter if you make the seitan from scratch or buy it. When seitan is added to the peppers, chilies, and onions you get a spicy and indulgent combination that compares and even surpasses takeout.
